7 reasons why tablets should NOT be used in education
I'm writing this on that netbook. I have an iPad but wouldn’t dream of using it for research, note taking, writing or business. It’s used in our house as a sort of look-up device, more ‘search, see and watch’ than ‘write, create and work’.
My kids never use it.

Mooresville’s Digital Conversion
https://www.cisco.com/web/strategy/docs/education/CiscoEduEveryLearner.pdf
Mooresville’s “Digital Conversion” Puts Kids First
It’s difficult to contest the success of Mooresville’s digital conversion. Once in the 60-percent level of competency in all subject areas, the district has pushed well above 85 percent — and Edwards and his colleagues expect to close in on 90 percent during the 2011–2012 school year.
Mooresville district, is home to some 5,600 students in grades K–12.
“Having the laptops has made everything so accessible,” she confirms. “We have so many more resources than when we used textbooks. I can connect with my teachers, and the Internet has helped me find things like the SAT website. This has really changed the way I learn; everything is so much easier.

The iPad in Education: The Apps and Deployment

The iPad in Education: The Apps and Deployment
In an ear­lier post (The iPad in Edu­ca­tion and the Ques­tions — 1/10/2011) I began to look at how an iPad could be used in school in a 1:1 set­ting. When I wrote the post, I had a lot of ques­tion. Some have been answered; many have not. I’m begin­ning to under­stand the mar­ket for the iPad and have a few observations.
As I see it there are three possible methods for deploying an iPad and the apps:
Centralized Account Syncing : A traditional model
Tandem Accounts : A blended model
Individual Accounts : User “owned”

Smart Student Response System
http://www.socrative.com
Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers by engaging their classrooms with a series of educational exercises and games. Our apps are super simple and take seconds to login. Socrative runs on tablets, smartphones, and laptops.
Teachers login through their device and select an activity which controls the flow of questions and games. Students simply login with their device and interact real time with the content.
Student responses are visually represented for multiple choice, true/false and Short Answer questions. For pre-planned activities a teacher can view reports online as a google spreadsheet or as an emailed Excel file.

Student Owned Laptop Programs
https://bit.ly/g4vxFU
Student Owned Laptop Programs
Some schools encourage student-owned laptops as opposed to school-owned laptops.
The families are therefore responsible for the machine (software, troubleshooting, repairs, etc).
This model puts the onus of support and repair on the students and families, thus relieving the school's tech department from many issues.

Laptop Lessons
Although we see more articles every week about schools doing iPad pilots, a great number of districts are finding ways to launch one-to-one laptop initiatives or refresh their laptop carts.
Still others are using Title funds and applying for grants to get netbooks into students’ and teachers’ laps.
However your district pays for it, there are a few essential issues to discuss. Here are some of them and thoughts from other districts.

How to Implement 1:1 Computing in Education
https://bit.ly/9t8N4v
How to Implement 1:1 Computing in Education
For many technology administrators in education, the idea of implementing 1:1 computing programs is far rosier than the actual process. Providing a 1:1 education takes far more than just an investment in technology, it requires a complete attitude adjustment on the part of students, teachers, administrators, parents – the entire school community. #ISTE

The Rise of Tablets, and Why You Should Care
https://mashable.com/2010/02/06/tablets-rise/
The Rise of Tablets, and Why You Should Care
The concept of tablet computing is hardly a new idea. Although prototypes of tablet or pen-input based computers go back to the late 1970s, the first big industry push for pen computing came in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The convenience factor alone makes it a killer device. Mark my words, whoever is able to get textbook publishers and universities on-board en masse first will ultimately win the eBook market.
The great thing about tablet computers is that they aren’t just eBook readers. They can offer additional content experiences as well.

Selling the Dream of 1:1 Computing A Leadership Primer
Schools around the world are at long-last embracing the implementation of 1:1 computing. However, many of the best intentions are stymied by a lack of leadership, narrow vision and an inability to communicate ambitious goals that justify the investment to cautious stakeholders.
The following is a series of answers often provided to support 1:1 computing and suggestions for how the same leader might inspire the hearts and minds of teachers, parents and community members.

"Gary Stager is one of the true pioneers of the 1:1 laptop movement. His work in this area includes looking beyond the laptops to their effective application by students as true tools for learning. Rather than seeing 1:1 computing as a vehicle for replicating older educational models, Gary sees it as a chance to transform educational practice in ways that truly prepare young people for lifelong learning."

The mission of this non-profit association is to develop a low-cost laptop—the "$100 Laptop"—a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world's children. Our goal is to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves.
Why do children in developing nations need laptops? Laptops are both a window and a tool: a window into the world and a tool with which to think. They are a wonderful way for all children to learn learning through independent interaction and exploration.
