1-to-1 benefit budget initiative laptop learning program students

I've been getting this question a lot lately from administrators, parents, and taxpayers. The question isn't malicious, but rather comes from folks with a vested interest in making sure that our technology dollars directly benefit students. Does giving teachers laptops directly benefit students? For people who aren't actively teaching in a classroom, that's a hard question to answer. I don't think it's very hard for teachers to answer the question, though, especially at the secondary level. For most people entering the business world, there is no question that they will have a computer on their desk when they are hired. It might be a laptop, a desktop, a shared desktop facilitated with some sort of flextime arrangement, or even a computer allowance so that the new hire can buy a machine that makes them the most productive. However, it's not terribly likely that they'll just be handed a dry erase marker and a whiteboard, pointed towards a copy machine, and told to go for it.

Activities: Students research and construct a time line that stars from the middle of the 19th century and projects into to the near future. Appropriate pictures will be drawn or placed on the time line to help emphasize historical facts that include scientific discoveries, industrial applications, and current events that may be related.

  This activity might be best in small groups. It will give an opportunity for diverse learners to succeed and express their views in a non-threatening environment.
