  1. CET 692 Leadership for 1 to 1 Computing January 17, 2007 Class Session 1 Tom Farrell Mark Hawkes

  2. Tonight's Agenda • Welcome to CET 692 • Class Website and Syllabus • “Creating the Case for 1 to 1 Computing” • Classroom Connections: Year 2 • Programmed Professional Development • After 3 years . . . Results at DSU

  3. Our Newest Motto “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of the future.” John Dewey

  4. John Dewey: A Who2 Profile http://who2.com/jeeves/johndewey.html

  5. Traditional New Learning Environments

  7. What is 1 to 1 Computing? • “Anytime, anywhere technology for every student and teacher” • Concept once never thought possible, but now becoming a reality.

  8. Some Thoughts • It is not a matter of if we have 1 to 1 but rather a question of when we will all have 1 to 1 • We were a very vocal opponent of 1 to 1 computing at DSU • Now it is “Give me 1 to 1 or give me retirement”

  9. A Short Evolution of Classroom Computing • Started with 1 or 2 computers per school • Introduced labs and students came to the lab • Room-based video • Introduced laptop carts and computers came to students

  10. From this . . . Computer Lab

  21. Regional Delivery Model

  22. To this . . . Wireless, DSU

  23. The Early Research on Mobile Computing • Students have improved inquiry skills. • Evidence points to improved student achievement in certain areas. • Students report that laptops make their school work easier and help improve the quality of their work. • Students are more motivated to learn. • Technology allows teachers to more easily differentiate instruction. • Teachers find laptops useful in developing integrated lessons. • Teachers report improved communication with their students. • Closes the gaps between the have’s/have not’s.

  24. 1 to 1 Based • Each teacher with their own wireless mobile device • Each student with their own wireless mobile device • Both have access to their device 24/7 • Changes greatly how we teach and students learn

  25. The Planets Are Aligning • Wireless is coming of age with security as well as prices continue to decline steadily • Size, weight, and price of mobile devices have continued to decrease while the power continues to increase • The functionality of today’s laptops continue to increase with built in wireless, built in optical drives and even card readers

  26. Guidelines for Successful Technology Initiatives in K -12 Schools • Focus on learning WITH technology, not ABOUT technology • Emphasize content and pedagogy and not just hardware • Give special attention to professional development

  27. Guidelines (cont’d) • Engage in realistic budgeting • Ensure equitable, universal access • Institute a major program of experimental research

  28. Other Thoughts of Laptops • Children not only can work with, but also feel empowered with • Can access many textbooks electronically • Ease of collaboration Source: MIT Joseph Jacobson ($100 laptop concept) http://wired-vig.wired.com/wired/archive/13.04/view.html?pg=2

  29. So Where is One to One being Implemented • Many web based resources describing implementations • Will attempt to share some here tonight and more from the WebCT class site • Texas Technology Immersion Project • http://www.tea.state.tx.us/press/techimmersion.html • Hopkins, Minnesota • http://weblogs.hopkins.k12.mn.us/onetoone/

  30. Additional 1 to 1 Implementations • Fullerton, California • Middle School Implementation • http://www.fsd.k12.ca.us/menus/1to1/index.ssi • Vermont 1 to 1 • Not high school, but share experiences • http://www.vermontinstitutes.org/tech/initiatives/121/121.htm

  31. More 1 to 1 Implementations • Manatee Florida • Site forms and ideas • http://www.manatee.k12.fl.us/sites/IT/summer03/index.html • Michigan and Indiana Plans • http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/showstory.cfm?ArticleID=5660
