One to World Program Research Practices

The Barrington 220 One to World program was piloted for one year in 2012–13 and then fully implemented over the next three years starting in the 2013–14 school year. The Department of Technology and Innovation, in partnership with the District Technology Committee, has been documenting evidence of the success of the One to World program since the program’s pilot year. 

Following advice from educational technology researcher Dr. Damian Bebell and others, the measures that best address the impact of any 1:1 program are those that relate to the program’s and/or district’s mission and vision. The Barrington 220 One to World vision and mission are:
