  1. PLN BEST OF 1:1 LAPTOP ADVICE

  2. Darcy1968 Question: what are 10 things WE can do in preparation for 1:1 laptops in classrooms? #L4L

  3. @Darcy1968 they should open their minds to the potential of those devices digitalmaverick

  4. bcrosby@Darcy1968 Change the pedagogy, don't just do what you used to but now you use laptops to do it, that is the usual error.

  5. georgiac@Darcy1968 connect with other educators ... NSW, AUS and Worldwide.

  6. kerrygallivan@Darcy1968 I would encourage you to check-out mainlearns.org - it's the website for the research center established on Maine's 1:1 project.

  7. stuhasic@Darcy1968 Remember - it's not ICT for ICT's sake. It's not a DIGITAL education revolution, it's a digital EDUCATION revolution.

  8. Lilylauren@Darcy1968 a school can refuse to accept a deficit model of teacher learning & understand that in 2009 it is not on to ignore technology

  9. stuhasic@Darcy1968 Use CLAS to see what "gaps" exist & where PD is to be targeted. Nothing wrong with being behind as long as you want to learn.

  10. irasocol@Darcy1968 biggest 1:1 prep is working on "instructional tolerance"-kids will be doing many things many ways. Get head around that.

  11. @Darcy1968 I think concentrate on subject areas – use examples form people within own subject area - less daunting middleclassgirl

  12. piphowell@Darcy1968 I think Bloom's DIgital Taxonomy is a great way to start http://tinyurl.com/4dd945

  13. lyndons@Darcy1968 They should encourage keyboard & eye breaks & good posture while using a netbook 4 any length of time

  14. kmcg2375@Darcy1968 Faculties can prepare a technology 'audit' survey to use with students in their subject

  15. rmbyrne missed your Tweet earlier. The best thing tchrs can do to prepare to get familiar with web-based apps for their subject

  16. kmcg2375@Darcy1968 Watch for KLA-specific resources coming online at TaLe and CK-12 websites. Some KLA content-based lesson/unit ideas on the way.

  17. kmcg2375@Darcy1968 Survey/interview/talk to students in your classes to find out how THEY see laptops being used in your subject.  

  18. piphowell@Darcy1968 buddy up with a faculty in the neighbouring high school and talk, talk, talk

  19. kmcg2375@Darcy1968 Buddy up. Pair teachers who are more experienced with ICT with teachers who need some support for informal PD and reflection

  20. plugusin@Darcy1968 Start by setting a vision for how 1:1 is going to change instruction in classrooms. What will kids be doing differently?

  21. @Darcy1968 plan early, plan often.. Achievable targets each term for 1:1 jhando

  22. georgiac@Darcy1968 teachers need to become part of the environment that the kids will be living in.

  28. RoderickSilva@Darcy1968 Preparing for 1:1? Easy. Collaborate with teachers that are doing it. Twitter is a great place to start meeting them.

  33. lyndons@Darcy1968 Set themselves a series of tasks: make a ppt, resize & edit a picture, make an XLS spreadsheet, record/edit and audio, etc.

  34. omns@Darcy1968: In the past I've found email and Tale good starting points. They provide the confidence to explore further.

  35. TroyM7@Darcy1968 model the use, edmodo, move beyond life skills ICT, interactive problem.

  37. stuhasic@Darcy1968 Work in small groups, say of 5-6. Group membership should be cross-faculty. Break down those faculty barriers!

  45. ictguy@Darcy1968 When talking '1 to1' – Will Richardson's Unlearning curve comes to mind! http://bit.ly/47izoP

  46. stuhasic@Darcy1968 #L4L School needs to come to consensus on all the policy issues. How do laptops fit in the current UAP and Discipline policies?
