Why Schools Must Move Beyond One-to-One Computing | November Learning - 0 views

  • the one-to-one computing plan puts enormous focus on the device itself, the enhancement of the network, and training teachers to use the technology. Then, teachers are instructed to go! But go where? That’s the critical question that must be addressed first.

      It seems that so many districts have the power of the one to one in their hands but not everyone uses the devices up to their potential.  Lots of times, they are just for word processing!
  • Adding a digital device to the classroom without a fundamental change in the culture of teaching and learning will not lead to significant improvement
  •  
    Unless we break out of this limited vision that one-to-one computing is about the device, we are doomed to waste our resources.

Professional Learning Communities - What is a PLC? - 1 views

  • An ongoing process through which teachers and administrators work collaboratively to seek and share learning and to act on their learning, their goal being to enhance their effectiveness as professionals for students’ benefit (Hord, 1997)

      Again, one of my favorite concepts of the PLC idea is that it is teachers helping teachers.  The outcome is that students move closer as a group to achieving benchmarks and standards without sacrificing class time or slowing down some parts of the class .

      It seems like a good concept.  The school system in Decorah is adopting the PLC idea this school year.  I like how it moves some of the strain of helping students onto a larger community and not just on the classroom teacher.
