North Carolina Learning Collaborative

Designed to support K-12 schools and districts that are implementing programs in which every student and teacher has a computer or computing device with access to the Internet, the North Carolina Learning Collaborative provides a means for educators to share information with each other, including technologies employed, curriculum resources, student assessment, internet safety, technical support, professional development, community involvement, policies, budgets, and program evaluation. In addition, those involved have access to information about effective strategies, lessons learned, and research findings from 1-1 computing initiatives in NC and in other states and countries. They share resources and activities across schools and districts, such as professional development programs, licenses for digital materials, and curriculum resources and projects developed within the schools. The initial organization and launch of the NC 1-1 Learning Collaborative is being conducted by the NC Department of Public Instruction, SAS, and the Friday Institute.
