    "There is a great excerpt from the Abilene, Kansas High School Dialogue Buzz Website that sums up what we will do for students when we create a 1:1 environment for our students Here's the excerpt: Let's have a little competition at school and get ready for the future. I will use a laptop and you will use paper and pencil. Are you ready…? I will access up-to-date information - you have a textbook that is 5 years old. I will immediately know when I misspell a word - you have to wait until it's graded. I will learn how to care for technology by using it - you will read about it. I will see math problems in 3D - you will do the odd problems. I will create artwork and poetry and share it with the world - you will share yours with the class. I will have 24/7 access - you have the entire class period. I will access the most dynamic information - yours will be printed and photocopied. I will communicate with leaders and experts using email - you will wait for Friday's speaker. I will select my learning style - you will use the teacher's favorite learning style. I will collaborate with my peers from around the world - you will collaborate with peers in your classroom. I will take my learning as far as I want - you must wait for the rest of the class. The cost of a laptop per year? - $250 The cost of teacher and student training? - Expensive The cost of well educated US citizens and workforce? - Priceless"

  • But PBL leaves traditional education in the dust. It sets students to work on their own juices, as self-directed learners. It enables them to master state standards and a lot more.
