A computer per student leads to higher performance than traditional classroom settings - 3 views

  • Bebell said that across all of the studies contained in the journal, one common link is clear: the value of teachers committed to making 1:1 computing work. "One of the most salient findings was the critical role that teachers played in the success of each 1:1 program," Bebell said. Additional factors critical to student success across 1:1 technology settings included: Having a strong commitment from school leadership Developing consistent and supportive administrative policies Creating professional development opportunities for teachers, particularly the sharing of best practices

      I wonder what performance was like before?
  • Cell phones are to be kept in locker.

      How do they control this? Is it better to model appropriate use and go by our policy of not using it during the school day?
  • More kids passed state science test last year than the year before, when they didn’t have a 1-to-1 program.

      Can a causal connection be made here?

Do iPods Belong in School? | The Tattered Leaf - 3 views

    Interesting article given the discussion amongst the 8th grade team a few weeks ago...

    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.

    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?
