Advice for schools embarking on the 1:1 journey
Wesley Fryer posted an amazing article over at Moving at the Speed of Creativity. The post has dozens of great resources for schools utilizing 1:1 laptops. I had to resist the temptation to repost the entire article. Go immediately and check it out.
Advice for schools embarking on the 1:1 journey?: “The reasons to embrace 1:1 computing are compelling, but there are MANY challenges to address and PLENTY of ways to fail miserably in this endeavor. My presentation at TCEA last year, — ˜The Case for 1:1 Computing in Schools, outlines some of the compelling reasons to embrace 1:1 and some of the best practices, but I will not pretend to be an expert on this subject. The real experts are the teachers, administrators, students, and community members who live and breathe 1:1 computing each day in their schools. They are the “educational Yodas” to whom we should turn for wisdom and guidance on this subject, which will be one of the most relevant and important topics for discussion AND action in our schools and communities in the years to come.”

Thanks for the link Steve! Hopefully we’ll see others add links to this list. This is certainly a critical topic and one ideally suited for collaboration and sharing. No one should be trying to “reinvent the wheel” when it comes to 1 to 1.
