Re: 1 to 1 Computing -- Seeking Input

You have all hit upon the same basic problems I have with the task at hand...lack of specifics. This is a statewide launch dictated at the state level and a task force tasked with working out details after the fact.

Having taught in the classroom, using blended technology (Moodle), and in a purely online school all at the same time, I'm confident I know what needs to be in place, what I am seeking (and some of you provided) were names and details about implementation and what has worked or could work well.

Please forgive my lack of more specifics...I simply don't have any. To a certain extent I don't think technical specifications were part of the legislative thought process. At some levels "computer is a computer" thinking may have existed in the early stages and we're left to define what is should look like now that it has passed (this task force was part of the legislation).

Thank you all for your input and information. I will be contacting some of you directly when I have more time.
