1:1 research summary report USA schools

shared by Roland Gesthuizen on 07 Nov 10 - Cached
  • The results found that both the implementation and outcomes of the program were varied across the five 1:1 settings and over the three years of the student laptop implementation. Despite these differences, there was evidence that the types of educational access and opportunities afforded by 1:1 computing through the pilot program led to measurable changes in teacher practices, student achievement, student engagement, and students’ research skills.

    "This paper examines the educational impacts of the Berkshire Wireless Learning Initiative (BWLI), a pilot program that provided 1:1 technology access to all students and teachers across five public and private middle schools in western Massachusetts. Using a pre/post comparative study design, the current study explores a wide range of program impacts over the three years of the project's implementation."

    "Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. Slavin also warns that we are writing code we can't understand with implications we can't control."

    An thought-provoking talk that could be used in study of social and ethical issues embedded in algorithms topics in Information Processing and Technology.

  • the government has set standards high for elementary and high school teachers, ensuring that only the very best candidates ever reach the classroom.
  • "Finland has one of the most competitive teacher-education systems in the world, and the teacher training program is more difficult to get into than the schools of law or medicine," Sahlberg said. "Many young people in Finland go on to study law because they cannot get into the primary school education program."
  • We want to put our money not into administration, but into supporting those people who need it."

  • "We have to continue to learn from one another," Sahlberg said. "We must make a difference (in education), and learning from one another is our only hope.
  • Scheidt said. "Until we deal with a lot of social issues like equity, health and just being able to have enough food for our children to eat, our kids can't learn.

  • Personalized learning like this requires students to reflect deeply on their effort and assess their work and progress, a fundamental part of developing the skills and dispositions to continue learning after the class ends
  • technology facilitates both the learning and the assessment process.
  • Web 2.0 technologies are at the heart of personalization
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the personalized nature of the program requires teachers "to meet each child where he or she is and differentiate support and curriculum on the basis of language and learning style rather than grouping or whole class. That's a necessary shift in the role of the teacher.
  • "Autonomy is what distinguishes between personal learning, which we do for ourselves, and personalized learning, which is done for us," Downes (2011) tweeted last fall.
  • the truly personal, self-directed learning that we can now pursue in online networks and communities differs substantially from the "personalized" opportunities that some schools are opening up to students.
