Missouri Military Academy is proud to announce that it will be expanding its One-to-One Netbook Pilot Program to grades 6-9. The program was first introduced in the 2010-2011 year for 8th Grade Students only.
The Missouri Military Academy One-to-One Netbook Pilot Program will be implemented in the grades 6-9 at the start of the 2011-2012 school year. A One-to-One Netbook Program provides a netbook for every student and teacher, allowing teachers to enhance their lesson plans to teach students about new technology and software. All classroom work, homework and research will be done with the netbook.
One-to-One Netbook Programs are becoming more important to secondary schools as technology becomes an integral part of higher education and the professional world. This program will lead the way to a new era of classroom learning at MMA.
"We are excited to introduce this program at MMA," said Matt Vore, MMA Director of Educational Technology. "One-to-One Netbook Programs are the best way to enhance in-class education and thoroughly train students how to use a variety of software applications they'll use in college and beyond."
6-9

required to purchase a MMA Dell Latitude 2120 netbook for the 2011-2012 school year. The Dell Latitude 2120 includes a Touch Screen, 2GB RAM, 250GB Hard Drive and a 3 Year Warranty/Accidental Protection agreement. Complete specs can be found below.

Although not required, Missouri Military Academy has also decided to make this netbook available for
purchase to all other students on campus. Netbooks can be
purchased at a special price of $550 (Including Tax). Missouri Military Academy is also attempting to become a Dell Inc. certified repair shop, so that computers can be fixed on campus by our own technicians. Until then computers are repaired next day on campus by Dell Inc. under warranty at no additional cost.
“This is a great option for our cadets, and with a three year warranty/accidental protection, it offers parents a very affordable computer that is virtually guaranteed to work for the next three years with little additional expense,” according to
Matthew Vore, Director of Educational Technology.
