teaching and learning. The PowerUp program has three main components; Technology, the "HUB," and personalization. Technology - HISD aims to equip every high school student with a laptop by the 2015-2016 school year. As a phase-2 PowerUp school, Reagan students will be receiving their laptops this January 12, 2015. The "HUB" - The "HUB" is a digital teaching and learning platform that will become the center for collaboration, curriculum, instruction and communication for all HISD staff. In addition, the HUB will eventually become a place where instructional resources and assignments are posted and completed by students. Students will be able to tailor their classes to their own personal learning style, and parents will be able to track their children's progress. Personalization - Colleges and employers now want innovative, creative thinkers who can solve problems and apply their knowledge to new challenges. In order to create these types of students, educators at HISD must work to personalize learning for each childs unique needs, abilities, and preferences.
