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!
