  • The question should not be "Does technology fit into my traditional way of teaching my class in high school?" but rather "How can I modify and further improve the learning environment, ongoing assessment methods, and opportunities I provide students to interact with each other and our curriculum?"

  • We need to be asking and analyzing WHAT THE STUDENTS DID AND ARE DOING with their laptops, and perhaps even more importantly WHAT ARE TEACHERS ASKING STUDENTS TO DO with their laptops.
  • we have to be asking what teachers are doing with their laptops, and asking students to do with them. The importance of asking this question is vital! If teachers are merely "accomodating" learning with digital tools, rather than "transforming" or "infomating" the ways they are teaching and inviting students to learn-- then the laptops may indeed be a waste of money and energy.

  • I would speculate that the problem here is likely not so much the implementation timeline or the scope of the district's 1:1 laptop initiative, but rather the TEACHERS themselves. Are teachers teaching differently, and are they receiving the TIME and SUPPORT they need to teach differently? Is the district administration encouraging the teachers to TEACH DIFFERENTLY, or just to teach the same but with laptops?
