Tech Help
Hamilton Southeastern classrooms employ many tools and resources to foster deep learning and the development of 21st-century skills. Among these are digital tools and resources.
When digital devices are used in HSE classrooms, they serve as learning and creation tools (Jonassen, D., Carr, C., & Yeah, H. 1998). HSE is a 1:1 school corporation; that is, each student in grades K-12 uses a personal digital device as a learning tool.
