The more things change, the more they stay the same.
-
Good teachers have always involved kids in engaging and purposeful learning activities.
-
Good teachers have always enjoyed being with their kids -- they like them. Teachers willing to work with kids get far more productivity out of a one-to-one program than those who think the kids work for them. The foundation for anything that happens in the classroom is the web of relationships among the members of that learning community.
-
Good teachers have always been learners. When one-to-one comes to a school, there is so much to learn. Any sense of full control over what the students will do and exactly how they will do it has to disappear. Teachers willing to learn from the kids will have far more kids willing to learn from them.
-
Good teachers have always done projects. Project-based learning has to become a part of the way you teach in a one-to-one setting if you are going to get the most out of it.
-
Good teachers have always brought the best resources to their kids, and made them accessible. In a one-to-one setting, this means identifying the best Web-based resources you can find, and having a classroom Web site you encourage kids to contribute to.
-
Good teachers have always encouraged kids to speak up, and have always listened to their voices. Blogging and podcasting are rising stars, and, far from focusing on the technology, they look beyond it to amplify kids' voices.
