Inspirational Talking Points Justifying 1:1 Computing

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:15:28 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

We have spent too much money creating computer labs where too few students have too little access to the resources they need. Our failure to inspire teachers to use computers across the curriculum is a result of such scarcity.

The laptops offer the potential today for students to engage in the real work of mathematicians, scientists, composers, filmmakers, authors and engineers.

We have an obligation to build upon the technological fluency the students bring to us.

Computers are integral to the world of our students and it is incumbent upon us to build upon the skills, attitudes and interests they bring to us.

Computer use must be appropriate, transparent and ubiquitous across the curriculum and computer science must be offered to all students interested in more specialized knowledge.

Computer fluent students shift from being mere consumers to producers of knowledge and other forms of creative expression. They can contribute ideas and artifacts to the digital world that will be admired and useful.

Writing will be less on exercise and more a way of sharing knowledge and telling stories to different audiences.

1:1 computing reduces all of the excuses for a lack of computer use and sends a definitive message that computers in education are not a fad.

Some teachers may need to rethink their career options.

We complain about student attention spans and yet ring a bell every 37 minutes and interrupt their thinking. Laptop schools have demonstrated routinely that the work students produce on their own time with the laptop often exceeds our wildest expectations of our students’ abilities.

This shift will have the benefit of creating fewer learning disabilities among students who confuse “writing” (penmanship) with “real writing” (the ability to express one’s self). The district will save large sums of money by not purchasing handwriting curricula materials.

We can’t afford any more precious classroom space being used up as computer labs.

Some probably will and they will be disciplined in the same manner as if they brought a copy of Playboy to school. We will not overreact just because a computer was involved since the laptop is an integral part of the learning process.

You do children no favor by insulating them from some of life’s less desirable elements, especially since they already spend so much time using computers. You teach children how to respond to inappropriate images or solicitation, just as you teach them not to get in a car with strangers.

As the primary intellectual instrument of our time, all students will need to use a laptop in order to be a successful participant in our learning community. We do not allow parents to exclude their student from the use of books.

Since the laptops represent a deliberate effort to expand learning beyond the boundaries and schedule of school, it is critical that they be used at home. This also helps us extend the formal learning community to include parents, siblings and other people important in the lives of each student.
