  • Schools maintaining an active and living list of logistical items are less likely to be blindsided by unexpected issues.  This list should be continually reviewed by the technology director and the team overseeing the implementation, and should be fully funded. Many schools find that upping their initial budget by 20% will help with cost overruns.

One-to-One That Works: Essentials - 0 views

  • Without a visionary steward, One-to-One is a hollow and unfulfilled promise.
  • Planning that is thorough and thoughtful, rooted in the school’s mission and philosophy, involves all the schools’ stakeholders, includes continuous communication to all stakeholders, and that is lead by visionaries will make the One-to-One promise become reality.
  • Any school improvement program only works if the teachers believe in it day-to-day and bring it to their practice in meaningful ways.

  • Workshops that are practical, hands-on, give teachers something they can use right away, and provide opportunities to question are best. It’s best to understand teachers as adult learners and to initiate and support a learning community where it’s safe to not know everything but where progress is continual. Too many times professional development takes the form of one or two workshops with no follow-up. Instead, keep professional development alive all through the school year.
  • Along with One-to-One comes complexity so be aware there will be logistical issues to solve.
  • Anticipating to and planning for the logistical issues will mean a program that’s truly integrated and not a source of frustration.
  • upport, either inhouse staff, or a vendor help desk, or a method of getting hardware to your vendor and back quickly. Nothing kills One-to-One so quickly as many broken, unusable computers with no set timeframe for repair.
  • This component is all about commitment – making sure that the resources, the support, the funding and the vision is for today and tomorrow. Without commitment, schools will go through a frustrating budget crunch involving justifying the program every 12 months.
  • One-to-One that is assessed is One-to-One that lasts and is renewed.

    The trick is for real meaningful inquiry to be the norm and for the teacher to continually guide the student to continually go deeper and to always question the question.
