Why Schools Must Move Beyond One-to-One Computing | November Learning | Diigo
Again, Alan strikes a chord on the current conversations in our own ACPS. The Design 2015 Grants are well on their way... with speed and hopefully thought? But the speed makes me worry about the thought. Are we really changing the culture of instruction? As Alan states in this article...Adding a digital device to the classroom without a fundamental change in the culture of teaching and learning will not lead to significant improvement. As I look forward to my classroom next year, I'm so aware that I will have a completely new way of teaching and learning than I did 12 years ago. My room will look different, feel different, sound different and hopefully I can really focus on what are the important aspects of teaching and learning, together with my students. I have no idea what devices I will have, but there is so much to think about whether it is a 1:1 access or not. Learning will be different. Learning will be fun! I'm excited at the possibilities and yes, I will take risks, and yes there will be failure, but I'm excited at the possibilities!
