Inspiring Excellence with Technology Access

Morris Elementary School District 54 supports its one-to-one initiative with high-density, 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

Challenge

To prepare students to succeed in a changing world and empower teachers to use technology in their curricula and lesson plans, the district launched a one-to-one initiative to:

  • Support 450 Chromebooks at an elementary school with robust Wi-Fi to support the growing influx of Wi-Fi clients
  • Partner with experts in educational technology for design and services
  • Determine best practices for rolling out one-to-one program at middle school

Solution

Cisco and delivery partner Unified Concepts installed a state-of-the-art wireless mobility solution, allowing students and staff to connect easily:

Outcome

  • Freedom of mobility: improves Wi-Fi experience for students and staff, enabling successful one-to-one program
  • Greater student achievement: empowers students to take change of their learning pace and methods
  • Relevant learning experiences: positions district to teach hands-on technology skills from an early age
We now have the right infrastructure to support a successful one-to-one program. The impact has been incredible.
