Spartanburg District 7 believes the use of technology can greatly support learning and instruction in our classrooms.   In conjunction with our outstanding teachers, our 1:1 initiative (one device for every child), Seven Ignites, aims to create a truly student-centered, 21st century learning environment.  The initiative involves the full digital immersion of classrooms in Spartanburg School District Seven. Under the initiative, all District Seven students grades 2-12 receives a 13" MacBook Air laptop and K-1 classrooms are equipped with sets of iPads.  In addition, every certified staff member receives a MacBook Air laptop and iPad.  This mobile technology allows students and staff to access learning anytime and anyplace. In addition, every classroom is equipped with a Promethean interactive ActivPanel.  The availability and immersion of technology in the learning environment empowers our students by providing opportunities to garner the skills to compete successfully in today’s society. We are confident this vision of student-centered learning, supported by an array of technology resources, will ignite an educational spark and produce future-ready graduates.
