I can't believe I'm at the end of the first year of our one-to-one program! I'm also sorry I haven't been more faithful bloggin my experiences. On a scale of 0 to 100 with 0 being a complete disaster and 100 being a complete success I would rate our program in the upper 80s. I've been amazed at how rough the students have been on the tablets. And am thankful that I teach in an all girls school! I guess my hope was that the students would treat their tablets/laptops like the teachers had treated…See More

I'm not very good at this blogging thing. I think you're supposed to do it more than once a month.
The tablet program is going well. I'm grateful for all those schools that did one-to-one programs before we did. We definitely learned from your successes as well as your pitfalls. Thanks!
I wish I could get the students to treat their tablets as well as the teachers do. I have to bite my tongue not to yell at them when I see them carrying the tablet by the… Continue

Well, it's been over a month since my last blog post. After the 7 Tablet Pickup Days we went right into 7 three hour Tablet Orientation sessions. We got the DyKnow server up and running in time for the third orientation session. A week after the last orientation session was the first day of school. DyKnow has been fantastic it's been a lot of fun to teach with. It really keeps the students engaged. More later, I'm tired...
Tablet Pickup Dayz

Well there finally here, the days I've been scheduling from my website form for the last 4-5 months... Tablet pickup days! We made it through our first two days, wow am I tired, now only 5 more to go! It's hard for me to believe this day has finally arrived, we've been preparing for 7 years for a one-to-one computing program and it's finally here. Things went well through the first two sessions, I hope, and pray that they continue for the other 5. W.C. Fields is often quoted as saying, "Never… Continue
Laptop Institute, Tablets, and Servers

Our student workers got the rest of the tablets imaged yesterday, so at least that is done! One month from today we have the opening faculty in-service. It's going to be a crazy month.
Went to the Laptop Institute in Memphis from Sunday thru Wednesday. It was a fantastic conference. I highly recommend it to anyone if there school is even remotely considering a one-to-one program. My biggest takeaway of the conference is the realization that putting a tablet in the hands of every… Continue
