One-to-One Wisdom: Expert Tips on How to Approach Professional Development in Laptop Environments
Cutter, Chris
Technology & Learning, v26 n9 p30 Apr 2006
Laptop computing programs have been in K-12 schools since the 1990s, but in recent months one-to-one learning seems to have reemerged as a top topic in education technology circles. According to Tim Wiley, senior analyst at research firm Eduventures, about 1,000 of the 15,000 school districts in the United States currently have one-to-one computing programs in one or more of their schools. Though he says these represent only "pockets" of progress, it is nevertheless a promising trend. In this article, the author presents some tenets K-12 technology leaders employ when prepping teachers for the challenges and possibilities of one-to-one, and these are: (1) recruit; (2) practice; (3) plan; (4) immerse; (5) involve; and (6) acknowledge.
