Planning the Next Shift: 1:1 Laptop School?

Print This Post
If anybody out there has advice for the do’s and don’ts of implementing a 1:1 Laptop policy, I’m all ears. Especially on these questions:
- One grade at a time, or all at once?
- Macs or PCs?
- Pedagogical and professional development groundwork before the shift?
- Tech considerations?
- The business end: beyond initial price tags?
- Other lessons from experienced travelers?
I would really appreciate input on this one.

Take a look at this as one example: http://www.mainelearns.org/ Maine has been involved in their initiative for about 3 years now. You might also contact Bob Sprankle or Cheryl Oakes (I think it is) who have been in the forefront there.

I just saw it posted but haven’t listened to it. However, it’s from Wes Fryer and he does really good stuff!
