IND’s One-to-One Student Tablet PC Program is designed to prepare each young woman to realize her potential in a digital age. By providing each student with her own tablet PC, IND ensures that technology is an affordable, accessible, and indispensable educational tool for every student. Through the careful integration of technology across the curriculum, IND creates a learning environment that is more individualized and tailored to each student’s needs, is more engaging, and is a more authentic representation of the real world of college, career, and life. During the program, each student creates an electronic portfolio, or e-portfolio, which includes a comprehensive collection of her work compiled throughout her high school experience.

IND’s program provides a new, school-owned tablet PC to each student in her freshman year for use at school and home. The school manages a safe wireless network for ready access to the Internet and on-line educational resources, provides the latest software programs, and offers training and support to students, faculty, and parents. To maintain costs, ensure equitable access for all students, and allow for convenient on-site technical support, families pay a modest annual technology fee. Upon graduation, an affordable buy-out plan gives parents the option to purchase their daughters’ respective tablet PC.
