"GFW High school in Minnesota is really leading the race at this point. I read the blog Ed Galaxy by Kevin Cummins regularly. Kevin frequently shares great stuff. Today is a wonderful article, The Ultimate Guide to Using iPads in the Classroom. In that article, he links to the GFW iPad Policy, Procedures and information. It is chalked full of good information for any school thinking about 1:1 with iPads. So, I did a little diggin and found their school website, including the iPad initiative pages that has even more useful information. They are in their 2nd year of this, so, clearly they have a lot of the bugs worked out. No need to re-invent the wheel, take their lead and learn from them!! What more can I say, but WOW!!"

Interesting possibility for digital maps. Free and crowdsourced. People seem to think learning how to create a layer is fairly easy, too.

We purchased the client software version of arcGIS made for K-12 use and had it on all RCS PC's for about 4 years. We were not able to get any integrations with it launched. Dropped support for it two years ago due to lack of use. Maybe interest in GIS has changed since Google Earth has come on the scene? Anyone interested in looking at GIS applications for RCS?

To be creative requires divergent thinking (generating many unique ideas) and then convergent thinking (combining those ideas into the best result).

When faculty of a major Chinese university asked Plucker to identify trends in American education, he described our focus on standardized curriculum, rote memorization, and nationalized testing. “After my answer was translated, they just started laughing out loud,” Plucker says. “They said, ‘You’re racing toward our old model. But we’re racing toward your model, as fast as we can.’ ”
