the absolutely critical importance of involving all community members in the planning and decision-making processes involved in going 1:1.
-
As Alex pointed out during his session, “When people feel like they’re part of a process, if they feel heard and like they’re generally listened to, that’s how you get buy-in.”
-
Determine your goal:
-
Create focus groups of major constituents
-
Build survey based on responses

Step 4: Analyzing the results:

Regardless of how it starts in a school, it is something that will change school culture, school community, and school operations.

concept of High Beam Leadership – using data to analyze and predict the future so that you’re making decisions with a 10-year view.

Last week I was extremely fortunate to attend the ASB Unplugged Conference in Mumbai, India at the American School of Bombay
-
the conference was a treasure-trove of ideas, inspiration and advice for teachers and administrators in 1:1 schools
-
1. Involve all stakeholders
-
Every single presenter in every single session I attended
-
highlighted the absolutely critical importance of involving all community members in the planning and decision-making processes involved in going 1:1.
-
2. School leadership must take an active role in the process of implementing 1:1
-
Scott Klososky and Paul Fochtman (the Superintendent of ASB) presented a joint session on the concept of High Beam Leadership – using data to analyze and predict the future so that you’re making decisions with a 10-year view.
-
A critical skill highlighted with the High Beam concept is the ability to take control of all the information that’s available and to make your own decisions. If you’re just following what others are doing, you’re not really planning for the future.
-
. Our schools are great at buying “things.”
-
Clearly, it’s easy for our well-funded schools to buy hardware, but it’s not so easy to develop and articulate a clear vision for what to do with those tools, or to implement long-term, effective professional development in order to make the most of the things we bought, and many of our school leaders prefer a more “hands off – let the tech team take care of tech” approach, rather than a true understanding of what this hardware should be creating in our schools.
-
“Every single information-oriented segment of society is being dramatically impacted by the information revolution in society. Including schools.”
-
4. Project Based Learning is where it’s at!
-
As Scott McLeod said during his session, ”what we remember best/most is what we attach meaning to. It’s very hard to attach meaning to decontextualized facts.” Project Based Learning ensures that learning is contextualized from start to finish.
-
5. It’s the little things that make a difference

- Demographics: Need to be able to sort the survey, make sure to ask the right questions (from the focus group, look at where you saw differences in the responses, and make sure you add that option to your survey)
- Value & appreciation of 21st century skills – attitudes and values that you care about need to stem from the mission statement
- Personal Technology Literacy
- Professional Practices: practical applications of pedagogy and technology
- Perceived benefits and concerns of going 1:1
- Professional learning networks (who or what is their PLN)?
- If your questions are framed within the values and mission of your school, then when you get them talking about 1:1 they’re already thinking about the values and mission of your school
Designing the Survey: (put the following items in the survey)
