  • If you go to a situation where the computers are one-to-one, where every child has a computer, be it a cell phone computer or a mini laptop computer, then all the learning activities, all the learning resources are on that device. It becomes the conduit then for the curriculum and for the artifacts the student creates. In some sense it does replace or certainly augments the paper and pencil materials. As Cathie pointed out earlier, the problem was that the computer was used as an add on. The major part of the lesson was still done on paper and there might be one activity that you did on the computer but that activity wasn't integrated with the rest of the pieces of paper. The computer wasn't playing an integral role to the lesson. But with one to one, it becomes possible for the computer to play an integral role. CN: Which is the way it is in business. Most business people do the majority of their work on their computer. Pencil and paper tends to be an aside or an add on for notes. When we start talking about teaching children 21st Century Skills, teaching them how to use the computer for the bulk of what they do is certainly a 21st Century Skill. ST: Certainly, so long as it's not just teaching the technical means to do a PowerPoint presentation or write a paper. It's about the critical thinking that goes on.

      I think this is the key! Remember the first day...Make the laptop disapear!
  • The teachers who are out of control when students have handhelds are the same teachers who are out of control when the students have pencils and paper. I was a classroom teacher for 15 years and back then the threat was that computers were going to come in and replace all teachers. All of the good teachers felt that any teacher who could be replaced by a computer should be. There is always room for and a place for good teachers. In this case the role of the teacher is different. It's not necessarily a role of handing out the information. You don't open up students' heads and dump in the information. Rather, teachers provide direction and contextualize things for students as they do their lessons. Students are not sitting there like little birds waiting to be fed. To create autonomous learners you must contextualize things for students as they find them or as they run into difficulties trying to fit pieces together because you've structured the lesson for them. ST: You're singing my song. One of the things we often say at our organization is that a child is not a vessel to be filled, but a flame to be kindled. What you're speaking to is how do you create that spark and engage that 21st Century Learner.

      Classroom management and teacher's role
  • Well that's true. One of the things that I worry about with Smart Boards is people are just porting all of their book based content into static PDFs to be displayed on Smart Boards. There's nothing engaging there about that solution. CN: Right. Children are simply watching something bigger. We were in Mexico and we saw that Mexico had adopted the Smart Boards in all the classrooms. At one meeting we attended, they demonstrated how they were going to be using the Smart Boards in the classroom. A teacher had a book opened, displayed on the Smart Board, going through the lessons with the book on the Smart Board. It was just a bigger book, the children are still being passive learners. They simply watched her as opposed to engaging with a technology that fits them, moving up and around, it's a completely different learning environment. ES: This was a very powerful learning experience for both of us. Here is a country trying to move into the 21st century. They were going to equip their classrooms with all these expensive, electronic whiteboards. All they were doing was the same thing that they had done with books in the past and that wasn't particularly interesting to the kids. Displaying the book a little bigger is not going have any impact whatsoever.

  • We see a trajectory with this issue of one-to-one computing. The entire notion of one-to-one is going to change. The term is inappropriate. It's a dominant term now because it comes out of the laptop world. It still focuses on the technology as opposed to what the kids are going to do with the technology. I think over the next few years, the notion of one-to-one as a term will disappear. What's going to happen is that it will be a given that all the children will have a computing device. It probably is going to happen faster than most people think. Right now, a large percentage of schools in the United States, ban cell phones. But once this dam breaks, when schools see that kids are already bringing computers to school and schools don't have to pay for those computers, the light bulb within administrators will light up. Administrators will begin to notice that one child brings a Motorola, another brings a Nokia, and yet another brings an iPhone. The solution? You just put a layer of software on top of the phone that makes all those non-homogeneous devices homogeneous with respect to the teacher and the learning activities. Just like a Dell and a Sony and a Gateway. They're different computers. You put a layer of software on top of them and now they're all the same. That's the same idea that will happen in the cell phone computer world. And when this happens, we think it's going to happen very quickly. Not in five years, more like two to three years.

      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.

      This is the "Bottom Line!"
  • Don’t forget your established classroom management skills.
  • Try to find ways to celebrate all sorts of different successes.

  • 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.

      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.
