  • Laptop carts do not change teaching and learning in the classroom the way that one to one does.

      One concern expressed regarding this is that parents in Edina may not like a pilot that gives 1/4 the students at a grade level this privaledge. We need to be open to the idea that while this may be an ideal way for us to pilot, we can still gain valuable information from designing lessons and units in which each student has a laptop, albeit from a cart.
  • If you were starting this from scratch...Start at the middle school. Plan how you will grow.
  • Teachers must embrace change in the role of teacher, and of students!

      I see it is hinted at in this blob… But, since we have been sending people to visit schools with 1to1 programs I can't help but wonder what list of information are we making sure we gather from each school. And where can I see a comparison of this data. Of the top of my head I would want details on the computers used in each school. Do teachers and students use the same type of machines? Are there any schools using multiple platforms? What software programs they are allowing students to use as well as any software/abilities that are being blocked? What regulations for student use is being enforced? What are the consequences for violating the computer policies? Is there data on the number of violations they have had? Home many computers (a percentage) are lost/need to be replaced each year? What was their schedule for training staff, students, parents, etc? Can we have copies of any of their training materials? What are the limits for data saved on the school's network drives (for students and teachers)? What expectations are there for teachers to incorporate 1to1 curriculum in their classes? Looking back what is the one thing that they feel must be done to implement a 1to1 program? What is the one thing they with they had done to implement their 1to1 program?

      I think that this is a great way to force students to use the technology appropriately. Would this work in Edina? I can see parents getting really upset if their student looses a laptop for a few days. I can just see the argument from them that their student will not be able to do their homework. I do think that we need to have some consequence though. I also wonder who is in charge of enforcing this as in is the teacher in charge of always checking or is this done by the tech department.

      Edina's Tech Plan runs from 2008-20012. It can be found on the Media and Technology Site off the main district page.

  • Take laptop away, create a public service announcement, have to have a parent or peer monitor, reapply for drivers license.

      I have concerns with taking the computer away. How does this change their productivity in class? Limit, monitor, block - there are other things that could be done. But if they do not have the computer in a class that is relying on 1to1 how will the student remain productive?

      This is the "Bottom Line!"
  • Don’t forget your established classroom management skills.
  • Try to find ways to celebrate all sorts of different successes.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Catch them being good
  • Teach good note-taking skills!
  • For better discussion, lower laptop screens
  • Designate a scribe. Consider designating a student as scribe for the day and have him/her take notes for the class. Allow other students to use the laptop only during student-centered activities and not during teacher-centered lessons.
    • Michael Walker
      Michael Walker on 15 Dec 09
       
      Then the scribe can share with the rest of the class.
  • Hold students accountable.
  • Remember, it's about them; not you. You don't have to be a master of technology, nor do you have to understand everything kids can do with technology. Create a framework for an engaging, student-centered assignment and let students surprise you with their innovative contributions!
  • disruptive behavior with laptops is also more likely to occur when laptops are integrated into a learning activity where they aren't essential, or in the classrooms of teachers who have discipline issues without laptops.

    From the site: 1. Teachers now have an unprecedented resource of meaningful science projects to engage their students. 2. Students can work with professional scientists anywhere in the world on real research projects that benefit us all. 3. Students can create their own projects and find collaborators all over the planet. 4. Citizen scientists can find like-minded people to share ideas. 5. Home-schoolers now have a network of science lovers to use as a resource for their children. 6. Professional scientists now have a turn-key solution to promote their research projects, archive their data, find collaborators and reach out to thousands of people they could not reach before.

    Interesting article given the discussion amongst the 8th grade team a few weeks ago...
  • Nicole Nuckley on 08 Mar 10
     
    I think iPod Thursday is an innovative and creative way to start to make the tech integration in our schools that we all know we need. The AP had many good refective questions that they should look for answers for as they go forward. One that was suspiciously absent, and the one that our discussion at the 8th grade meeting was really about, was equity. He cites iPod thursday as a "perk for all," but is it really benefitting all? I know that even in Edina, mp3 players of any kind are not 100% ubiquitous. The subtext of our 8th grade conversation was less about actual iPods, and more about continuing to address the growing social, racial and economic tensions that have been evident this year and are affecting student learning and achievement--things we've been discussing in our meetings all year.
  • Michael Walker on 08 Mar 10
     
    Nicole, Thanks for expanding on this! Do you think if the district were to change the model of allowing kids to bring their own laptop that we would only increase the "inequity" even if those without had a district supplied device that may not be as "flashy" or full featured as what some could afford?
