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 plan that was entered into the competition; made it to Stage 2 winner.

Watch this video to see how change happens. It is the Diffusion of Innovation model. This comes from a 512-page (1.4 pound) book. This 7 minute video may skip a couple of things but It gives you the overall idea.

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

Development grants provide funding to support high-potential and relatively untested practices, strategies, or programs whose efficacy should be systematically studied. An applicant must provide evidence that the proposed practice, strategy, or program, or one similar to it, has been attempted previously, albeit on a limited scale or in a limited setting, and yielded promising results that suggest that more formal and systematic study is warranted.

Links to various resources such as technology planning, hardware/software resources and evaluation, information about grants and funding, technology use standards for teachers, free online programming resources, etc.

A list of technology coordinators/specialists from all over the U.S. (I did find a tech. coordinator listed from Canada, so it may be an international network) - most people on the list provide a twitter handle as a form of contact, and many of them provide links to their personal website/blog and

Video shows how project-based learning is used when students have full access to technology. They call it expeditionary learning. Lots of fieldwork.

Good example of how to do it.

Good case study

Case study of a small town school in North Carolina

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 :)

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?

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.
