I will be teaching in a 1 to 1 classroom for the first time this fall.  I want to hear from teachers in 1 to 1 schools about your experiences.  What wisdom can you pass along to me?  How are teaching and learning different with 1 to 1?  I appreciate any input you can give me!

Hi Kim,

I posted into a forum last week about 1:1 tools and instruction. In case you missed it here's the post:

The 1:1 Classroom - Tools for 1:1 Instruction

If this upcoming school year is going to be your first time teaching in a 1 to 1 classroom, you may be curious what you're getting into.

Teaching in a 1 to 1 classroom has many advantages. Students can receive a more well rounded education as well as gain better communication skills (believe it or not) and have more classroom interaction when they have access to technology at all times. A lot of the new lessons you can now design can directly translate into what you are preparing them for in the work force.

You must take the proper precautions when preparing to launch your 1 to 1 initiative, the main being - how do you keep students on task and eliminate distractions. This can be a major worry for many 1 to 1 instructors. The greatest advice that I can give you is to implement a classroom management and monitoring software solution. This will allow you to setup restrictions and also provide more creative interactive lessons to increase student engagement and learning.

CrossTec is offering a free webinar to those interested in learning more about implementing a classroom on a budget without loosing a 1:1 environment. To register please visit the following link and fill out the short form: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/261476824

Hope this helps!
