The Rise of Tablets, and Why You Should Care
http://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. |

Professor Emeritus and CDL evaluator Dr. Jason Ohler recently conducted interviews with CDL participants to determine the program’s effectiveness and its impact on students. His report provides an “in the field” perspective from persons highly involved with deploying 1-to-1 in their districts, schools and classrooms, and highlights exciting results and promising new trends. |

Measuring the success of a 1:1 Scheme
http://www.techlearning.com/blog/2007/10/measures_for_success.php Measuring success of 1:1 Scheme David Warlick's blog Measures for Success talks about the evidence from one school district with a laptop program that knows how to measure the results. Rather than charting test score increases, this district looks at the number of graduating high school students who are going to college. Prior to their 1:1 initiative, only 26% of students continued their education after high school. On the last day of school, in 2006, 79% of graduating seniors had already been accepted at post secondary institutions. In 2007, it rose to 84% Mazingo stresses that it is not the laptops that has caused this change, but its the change in education culture that comes from being connected, from teachers who must become master learners .... |

Selling the Dream of 1:1 Computing : A Leadership Primer
http://www.stager.org/laptops/talkingpoints/index.html 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's Tips for Selling 1:1 Computing in your District
http://districtadministration.ccsct.com//page.cfm?p=1278 Gary's Tips for Selling 1:1 Computing in your District Forty years ago Seymour Papert began talking about a computer for every learner. In 1968, Alan Kay sketched the first personal computer as a tool for children. In 1989, Steve Costa began teaching entire classes of fifth grade girls each equipped with a laptop. In 1994, Cobb County Congressman Newt Gingrich advocated a laptop per student. Nearly a decade ago hundreds of kids at Harlem's Mott Hall schools began taking laptops to and from school. Several years ago Maine passed a law providing a laptop for every 7th and 8th grader. Books like Bob Johnstone's exhaustive history, "Never Mind the Laptops," have been published and countless research studies have been concluded. |

Laptops and Learning Resources
http://www.stager.org/laptops.html Laptops and Learning Resources "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." |

Affording 1:1
http://techlearning.com/story/showArticle.php?articleID=196604541 Affording 1:1 Many large-scale initiatives are in the position of having to request funding every few years, which can be a real nail-biter. The sooner you can fold all your laptop or tablet funding into yearly capital expenditures the better. Michigan, Maine, and West Virginia have all been in the position of renegotiating funding after their initial outlays, and so far all three have successfully continued their programs. |

The 411 on One-to-One Computing
http://www.education-world.com/a_tech/tech/tech194.shtml The 411 on One-to-One Computing One-to-one computing is happening now! In K-12 classrooms across the United States, laptops, handhelds, and tablet PCs are replacing pens and pencils as the accepted "tools of the trade" for students. You already might teach in a classroom that provides a computer device for each student's use. If you don't yet, however, with K-12 technology use predicted to continue to rise in the years ahead, the trend toward one-to-one computing is sure to impact your classroom in the not-so-distant future. |

Computers for Peace
http://www.edutopia.org/1761 Computers for Peace Former MIT Media Lab director Nicholas Negroponte discusses the goal of the organization One Laptop per Child: $100 laptops The goals of a global one-to-one laptop program go beyond learning. We are targeting the full span of age groups, six to sixteen. The most benefit will be for those in remote and rural areas. We have designed the machine to run on human power, for example. Likewise, in places without telephony, we have the means for children to connect to the Internet for less than $1 per month. |
