The goal of OneBerkeley Connects, a one-to-one digital learning initiative, is to support every student in their educational journey by providing them with a digital device to be used both at school and at home. Berkeley County School District provides relevant 21st century tools that will empower all students for success. OneBerkeley Connects will provide Chromebook devices to students in four phases. Phase one includes third through eighth grade students in 23 schools. All remaining third through eighth grade students will be part of phase two. Phases three and four will provide Chromebook devices for high school students.  The infusion of technology in teaching and learning ignites a passion for innovation, personal growth, and promotes the pursuit of world class knowledge and skills as outlined in the Profile of a South Carolina Graduate.
