Thoughts on Macs and Netbooks » Moving at the Speed of Creativity

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:41:13 -0000

The hardware computing landscape is changing in big ways, and netbooks are a major catalyst along with mobile devices.

The hardware computing landscape is changing in big ways, and netbooks are a major catalyst along with mobile devices. - Tod Baker

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

For student laptop initiatives, no one is using the Macbook Air– the $1000 white Macbook is the choice for many. That’s still $700 more at retail price.

I can't ignore this difference. That cheap price demands attention. - Tod Baker

Given the choice AND the funding, would you recommend the purchase of Mac laptops or netbooks (of some flavor) for your own school district?

If I wanted the creativity suite of software that iLife provides, I would go with a Mac. But if I could get by with something like Google Apps and rely on cloud computing, then I would recommend a netbook. - Tod Baker

Given the choice AND the funding, would you recommend the purchase of Mac laptops or netbooks (of some flavor) for your own school district? Would it surprise you to learn that at least 18 Maine school districts are now going with netbooks? Hat tip to Maine educator Alice Barr for telling me about this at NECC.

Maine Education Commissioner Sue Gendron said the state has seen benefits in using the Apple notebooks in the middle schools; it wants to see those same benefits for high-school students.

"We have seen incredible success, with our middle schools showing increased student engagement and achievement with (Maine Learning Technology Initiative) in place, and we want to bring this same opportunity to our high schools," Gendron said in a statement. "This is not just about technology--it's about using the technology to support education."

Free Technology for Teachers: 10 Things Teachers Should Know Before 1:1

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:02:30 -0000

I was on a conference call this evening with some other educators and administrators in the state of Maine. The purpose of the call was to brainstorm ideas for a video about preparing for teaching in a 1:1 computing environment. In advance of the call we were asked to generate a list of things that teachers should know before teaching in a 1:1 environment.

Microsoft's School of the Future: Lessons in failure

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 13:58:05 -0000

When it opened its doors in 2006, Philadelphia's School of the Future (SOF) was touted as a high school that would revolutionize education: It would teach at-risk students critical 21st-century skills needed for college and the work force by emphasizing project-based learning, technology, and community involvement. But three years, three superintendents, four principals, and countless problems later, experts at a May 28 panel discussion hosted by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) agreed: The Microsoft-inspired project has been a failure so far.
