This is a Ning where educators in 1:1 environment share ideas. One member I recognize is from BCLUW High School

Great site started in Iowa for teachers to share experiences with 1-to-1 implementation.

Collections of dozens of case studies of 1-to-1. Range from 2007 to present.

This is a wealth of resources for 1-to-1. It is provided by the ISTE Technology Coordinators SIG group. It is a MUST READ!!!!

A list of resources to help plan, implement, and evaluate 1-to-1 laptop programs.

Really interesting article, Jennie. I think it touches on the vital idea that computers don't change teaching, and that a whole new approach in education is needed if districts/states wish to get their money out of their investment. Good ol' Larry Cuban keeping everybody honest :)

Upcoming Iowa 1 to 1 Institute meeting: April 11, 2012

About half way through researching 1:1 programs at smaller districts in Iowa, I found Live Binder (see diigo link). This is my binder of the information I've found so far. It's really easy to use and the end result organizes information better than a document. Binders can be shared so people can see them, but you can also collaborate on a binder.

This is such a great idea. JKies thank you for sharing. I'm not naturally organized but I'm always looking for ways to organize resources and make it all make sense! This is a great.

This site was recommended by a teacher on the 1:1 Ning. You can create a binder of bookmarks that show the pages you are bookmarking. The binder also holds pictures text and more. Could be used as a portfolio?

Case study that The Fightin' Fourth (Group Four) is using for its project

There are now a large number of initiatives designed to make laptops with wireless connectivity available to all students in schools. This paper synthesizes findings from research and evaluation studies that analyzed implementation and effects of one-to-one initiatives from a range of countries. Factors related to successful implementation reported in the research include extensive teacher professional development, access to technical support, and positive teacher attitudes toward student technology use. Outcome studies with rigorous designs are few, but those studies that did measure outcomes consistently reported positive effects on technology use, technology literacy, and writing skills.
