@thorprichard
: @anotherschwab fair enough. Thus the mention of 1:1 programs... not everyoneis going this route (and the jury is still out on whether a 1:1 laptop initiative is a good idea in thefirst place).
BradnDeedo
: Yeah it's time for me to say goodnite -Thanks to all for such great ideas.
BethMcEwen
: @aforgrave @MaryKayG Well put MaryK - it's definitely a mindset
Tim
: @asbella good point
aforgrave
: @BadEd -- say Hi to Mike and Kent and tell them each to have one for me!
MaryKayG
: @aforgrave -- In most cases, I think so. They just need to be convinced it's in the bestinterest of the students.
anellewilson
: This has been my first time participating, and it's been loads of fun - thankseveryone!
Ellsbeth
: My school is in the first year of 1:1...the plan is for the whole district to be that waysoon.
MaryKayG
: @BadEd -- Did I miss my tee time?
@thorprichard
: @Tim no thanks, I'm eager to return to twitter.... the automatic scrolling isdriving me crazy. ;-)
BadEd
: @aforgrave - Cheers!
aforgrave
: @thecleversheep @educhat -- I agree with Tim -- Twitter has its benefits, but we'vehad 2 out of 5 fails ..
BadEd
: @MaryKayG - Sorry, we didn't get out. I would have called!
@thorprichard
: @janellewilson glad you could make it. sorry for the tech troubles with twitter.
lindseyb16
: everyone check out the link to threshold mag from @sambermhttp://www.ciconline.org/threshold-spring09
anotherschwab
: @thorprichard, so many variables in a succeful 1:1 that I think the technology isactually a small part. would be nice to drop it in a school from 1st through 12th and see how itreally works
BethMcEwen
: @GregoryLouie - motivation requires engagement through making studentexperiences meaningful/real to them and showing students we value the same things they do (e.g.,social networks both online and in person)
Ellsbeth
: Sort of related...has anyone read Seth Godin's "Tribes"? We need more heretics ineducation. Especially with tech.
anotherschwab
: I mean, we have 1:1 now, it's just a textbook instead of a computer.
thecleversheep
from x.x.x.87 left this message 5 minutes ago:If nothing else, upwards of 50 educators proved they are flexible! Catch you in the virtual worldtomorrow... until I can attend a face-to-face conference!
aforgrave
: @Ellsbeth -- what got your district to the point where they decided to go 1-1?
@thorprichard
: @anotherschwab oh, I absolutely agree! How about the kindle? Why hasn't thepublishers done a deal to distribute those instead? It's just soo obvious of a fit.
