  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?

  Wow! This is amazing. I wish that we had all these things in our classroom! We will need to have some of these things to make one-to-one successful - like wireless hubs!

Students can loose access to laptop for 3 days for code of ethics violation plus detention
- michelle terry on 07 Nov 08
  
  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.
- John Kraus on 08 Nov 08
  
  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?

Laptop carts do not change teaching and learning in the classroom the way that one to one does.
- Michael Walker on 24 Oct 08
  
  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.

As we saw with Mogulus, there are many other tools for backchanneling. "CoverItLive" is one that many use for embedding on a blog and allowing students to log in and chat.
