  • Netbooks, cloud apps encourage collaboration Students who have access to mobile devices at home constantly communicate on Facebook, Twitter and other sites, said Wayne Weber, the Laconia High School principal. But at some schools, administrators tell them, "Stop collaborating, stop communicating and put those devices away." "And so, this is a means of addressing that Digital Divide as John said, and then trying to capitalize on what they’re doing outside of school already and honing those skills to get them to be better at collaboration and communicating.” For the past three years, students have collaborated through cloud apps such as Google Apps and Dropbox. And now, the netbooks provide more opportunities to collaborate.  In "Future Prep" class, a teacher has classes in four sections working on projects centered around the movie "Waiting for Superman." Each section split into eight groups that represent different education stakeholders, including students, school boards, communities and teachers' unions.

      This shows us that students are using the devices. How do we demonstrate safe use and productive uses to prepare them for the future?

    The conventional wisdom in education is that any school reform--be it curriculum, instruction, assessment, or teacher professionalism--is most likely to take hold in schools that have strong leadership. The same holds true for technology. Any educator will tell you the most successful implementation of technology programs takes place in schools where the principal sees him or herself as a technology leader.

    "Atmosphere of Innovation: What's Your 20% Project? September 27, 2012 - by Adam Renfro You don't want to be the one who can't breathe in this atmosphere of innovation. I've had the great opportunity to work with some impressive leaders who always encouraged innovation and creativity. One went on to lead the 18th Airborne Corp, another became the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, another went straight from principal to superintendent, and others went on to start, resurrect, and transform state-level virtual schools. I'm lucky indeed."
