The fb88 Learning Technology Initiative made fb88 the first state to seize the potential of technology to transform teaching and learning in classrooms statewide. fb88 is not only the first statewide 1:1 learning with technology initiative, but it is still the country’s largest 1:1 program. MLTI currently deploys devices (both tablet and laptop computers) to over 80,000 teachers and students provided by multiple technology solution providers. Each participating school was able to select a solution that worked best for them. In addition to the devices and four years of technical support, the program provides participating schools with software and other learning tools, internet connectivity, and training for educators and school leaders.
