In this webinar, you’ll hear from Val Verde Unified School District, a rural district with 22 schools (and growing) spread out among Moreno Valley, outside of LA. The district aims to close the digital divide and provide a high quality education for all students to ensure their academic success and beyond.
Val Verde decided to adopt Google Apps, helping facilitate collaboration and real-time feedback among their 20,000 students. The district purchased 6,000 Chromebooks for students to use in the classroom and have had a phased approach to ensure they can scale in a sustainable fashion. Most recently, they used Chromebooks for the upcoming Smarter Balanced AIR assessments with much success.
