Abstract	Imagine being part of a school district where children choose to come in early from recess to do schoolwork, a place where student engagement is so contagious it has overtaken the faculty and staff, a district where the focus is truly on every child every day. Many would contend such an ideal culture simply does not or cannot exist in today's public schools. They have not been to Mooresville, North Carolina, where the district has developed an instructional design that combines digital tools, creative pursuits, multivaried collaboration, discovery research, independence, and cultural synergy--all focused toward student learning and academic achievement. As the architect of two districtwide, 1-to-1 laptop programs, the author knows well that academic successes have somewhat less to do with the use of new technology than with a fundamental rethinking of teaching and learning. He details the curricular changes and the rise in expectations for all teachers as the real story in Mooresville. (ERIC).
