I teach English and Spanish at Dawson School, a small school of 160 students in grades pre-k-12 in rural west Texas.  With the tentative approval of my superintendent, I want to bring a 1:1 laptop initiative to our district.   Many districts in our surrounding area have already done this, so we don't have "to invent the wheel."  I have toured one area district to view their technology use, but beyond creating a presentation to sell our school board, staff, and community on this idea, I am not sure where to go from here.  Does anyone have a presentation advocating a 1:1 laptop program you would be willing to share to give me some more ideas?  Is there perhaps a plan from a computer manufacturer that may be used to approach this?  This is a pretty big undertaking.  We will have to seek out federal grant funding to begin, but I think our school board might eventually financially support a leap to laptops for all students once it was it was in progress.  Any ideas, strategies, tactics, support, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Les Biffle

Check out our school district's 1:1 pages. My children attend these schools. I went with our tech director to speak with the principal about their development of the program and they were very helpful. Lower Merion School District Tech pages

Thanks, Debra.   I have looked over these pages, and they look very helpful.  I am about to created a presentation for my superintendent, staff, and board of education outlining what we can do with a 1:1 program.

Good Stuff! :)

Sure Les,

 

Here are many 1:1 tools and a preso I use to share 1:1.  I have some unique, successful1:1 models/ideas to share if you need help - rkiker@kikerlearning.com
