INGLESIDE, TX -- Ingleside ISD today announced a new digital learning initiative through which all students in grades 7-12 will receive Android-based KUNO tablets for the 2013-2014 school year. Working with Engaging Solutions of Katy, TX, Ingleside will be implementing a district-wide curriculum management system (CMS) called CurriculumLoft, that integrates with the tablets so students can work anytime and anywhere, even if they don't have Internet access.

"One-to-one learning is about much more than just giving kids devices," said Superintendent Troy Mircovich. "It's about delivering rich, relevant content that truly engages students in their learning, both in and out of the classroom"(Curriculumloft, 2013). “All curriculum and most textbooks will now be pushed wirelessly to each student’s tablet where they can work on their assignments in the classroom or at home. Ingleside ISD is committed in providing our students the opportunity to succeed in the 21st Century Society."

"Ingleside ISD has also been selected by CurriculumLoft to be a Champion District in Texas," said Erica Steitenroth, CEO of Engaging Solutions. "Under the Champion Program, Ingleside teachers and administrators will receive extensive staff development and training on how to incorporate this new technology into their classrooms."

As a Champion District, Ingleside will also be part of a multi-state collaboration with school districts in North Carolina and New Hampshire. Teachers and technology teams will be sharing ideas, materials, and best practices as each district builds-out the CurriculumLoft Cloud and deploys tablets to their students.

"Everyone is extremely excited about this initiative," said Mircovich. "It's going to truly transform instruction and open up many new ways for kids to learn and interact."
