The document discusses plans for implementing mobile technology at Hershey High School. It considers options for distributing sets of 16 mini-laptops either together in one classroom, rotating between classrooms, or distributed in sets of 4 across classrooms. It also describes an opportunity for teachers to apply for mini-grants to receive one-to-one devices for their core classrooms. Teachers are instructed to brainstorm ways to use various tools and strategies supported on the technology to enhance learning.
