The Possibilities With One-to-One Computing

TIE Conference, April 23, 2006
Julie Mathiesen & Lennie Symes

http://staff.tie.net/lsymes/indepth/

How might a laptop for every student change the classroom environment and the learning experience? Join us as we explore the possibilities. Not only will we look at what the research says about 21st century skills and one-to-one classrooms, we will also engage in the experience as we investigate web-based applications. While this session will be broad in scope, many of these hands-on one-to-one learning experiences can be adapted to your own classroom. You will be inspired and empowered to take the leap into the digital classroom of today and tomorrow.
