M-DCPS DISTRIBUTES LAPTOPS THROUGH CONNECT@HOME PROGRAM Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) distributed new laptop computers today at Golden Glades Elementary School in Miami Gardens. Over 2,000 select students at 18 targeted elementary schools throughout the district will receive computer devices and four years of free Internet access provided by Sprint to use at their homes as part of the CONNECT@HOME project. Students will use the devices to practice their reading and math skills at home through “myON Readers” and “Reflex Math,” as well as other educational software accessible through the student portal. Over the next four years, Sprint will provide free broadband connectivity to students in the Miami-Dade school district, investing $100 million nationally, as part of the White House initiative, ConnectED. The high-speed LTE broadband service will help students stay connected at home through a Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing them to continue learning beyond the classroom. The devices will also allow the whole family to have access to technology and online resources.
Parents and students at Golden Glades Elementary School received a tutorial for the new laptop computers as part of the M-DCPS CONNECT@HOME Project Laptop program.
