One-to-one computing programs only as effective as their teachers | New Options in One-... - 3 views

  • It’s “impossible to overstate the power of individual teachers in the success or failure of 1-to-1 computing,” Bebell and Kay write. “Teachers nearly always control how and when students access and use [the] technology during the school day. In addition, teachers must make massive investments in time and effort to adapt their teaching materials and practices to make the 1-to-1 environment effective and relevant.”

The Internet is Forever… Sort of | Bit by Bit - 0 views

    "Geocities is a cautionary tale for all of us. Now that we've come to expect permanence from the Internet and move deeper into cloud computing, it's tempting to think that everything is safe and backed up. But, as the Archive Team reminds us, all that data, writing, photos, movies, etc. are at the mercy of corporations. The lesson to our students can't just be "be careful what you post on the Internet because it will be there forever," but must also include, "BACKUP what you've posted on the Internet, because it may not be there forever!""

    Bruce - wow - some really cool ideas in this. I can definitely see how hooking up a 64GB iphone to a keyboard and screen being the way things get done in the future. Lots of good ideas about 'transformation'. Teachers need a roadmap for how to make the shift. More and more articles like this will make it clear to them that they need to change, but they have no idea how to.

College Professor Makes his Point Clear: No Laptops Allowed in Class - 1 views

    Yes - this is ridiculous, but it does point out how far we still need to go in terms of managing computer use in a wireless environment. It speaks more to the content of what is going on in class. How can kids get away with facebooking the whole class? What does it say about what is going on in class?
