  • school leaders did not seem to be willing to stick with the programs for the long haul
  • a lack of attention to the components needed to fix computers and keep the models current and operational.
  • 6 more annotations...
  • • must pay attention to policies and procedures, including consequences for inappropriate use of the laptops and whether the machines may be used at home.
    • consideration of the goals of one-to-one programs need to be undertaken at the school, district, and state levels so that overarching questions of “why one-to-one?” are answered.
    • needs a mission statement that really answers those questions and provides a road map for how the program will move forward. The mission for some is to improve students’ technology skills; for others, it is to create more opportunities for self-directed learning.
    • a vision committee should be established to outline what else is needed for the program to succeed.
    • holding back on communicating about one-to-one computing initiatives, not wanting to tell people about incomplete plans.
    • he vision committee and people involved in running the program to become informed about best practices. Fanning out to observe and question schools, districts, and statewide programs results in an understanding of what’s working and what might have been tried along the way but didn’t work. Attending conferences that specialize in one-to-one computing is also helpful.

  • Serious consideration of the goals of one-to-one programs need to be undertaken at the school, district, and state levels so that overarching questions of “why one-to-one?” are answered. A program needs a mission statement that really answers those questions and provides a road map for how the program will move forward. The mission for some is to improve students’ technology skills; for others, it is to create more opportunities for self-directed learning.
