This was a great blog about an eastern school principle who traveled to schools in Iowa who are using the 1:1 laptop ratio in their everyday classrooms. After visiting these schools she came up with many different observations as to why all schools need to be 1:1 laptop ratio.
We need to prepare our students to be doers and creative thinkers who can compete with their peers all around the world. Schools that don’t use these methods are at a disadvantage. Students in schools with 1:1 programs don’t ask what they have to do to get the right answer. Instead, they are asking thought-provoking questions, challenging assumptions, making interdisciplinary connections, applying acquired knowledge, and are immersing themselves in authentic learning experiences. Each 1:1 school in Iowa represents a “Field of Dreams” to each and every student enrolled there (Scott McLeod!)
