This book tells the story of how Dr. Mark Edwards, 2013 Superintendent of the Year, led a school district in an innovative "digital conversion" initiative that provided every student and teacher with a laptop, despite a very modest resource base. The result of the initiative was a 90% graduation rate, a composite academic performance of 89%, and a vibrant new learning environment noted by hundreds of visitors.

Each chapter explains how visionary success factors including a culture of caring, digital resources, a relentless focus on data, leadership at all levels, and student-centered learning worked together to produce the outstanding results, and how their interplay drove academic improvement. New funding strategies that address the budget issue combine with step-by-step replication tips to provide valuable inspiration and guidelines to help every school succeed on the digital conversion path to student achievement.

The story of the initiative's success has been featured in the New York Times and is the subject of a documentary on PBS and Fox News. Over 700 visitors from other districts, universities, and the media have toured the Mooresville school district to see this innovative initiative in action.
