Laptops have been part of the classroom experience at Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart since 1996. Nevertheless, teachers were still using traditional, time-consuming methods for creating lesson plans, organizing paperwork, giving quizzes, and grading homework. Students spent the majority of their class time taking notes rather than engaging in the lessons at hand. Forest Ridge wanted to provide its students and teachers with an interactive tool that would help them excel at their work by streamlining teaching processes, enhancing organizational capabilities, and creating more dynamic opportunities for collaboration between students and teachers. When Microsoft released the 2007 Office system, Forest Ridge upgraded all 500 of its laptops.
