<p>Who does the best job of preparing pre-service teachers to work in 1:1 classrooms?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are looking for universities that are preparing their teacher education students to flourish in the 1:1 classrooms. This needs to be more than just requiring all of their students to have laptops. Ideally, it needs to include a program that reconceptualizes learning to best use a technology-rich learning environment.</p>

With the tentative approval of my superintendent, I want to bring a 1:1 laptop initiative to our district. Many districts in our surrounding area have already done this, so we don't have "to invent the wheel." I have toured one area district to view their technology use, but beyond creating a presentation to sell our school board, staff, and community on this idea, I am not sure where to go from here. Does anyone have a presentation advocating a 1:1 laptop program you would be willing to share to give me some more ideas? Is there perhaps a plan from a computer manufacturer that may be used to approach this? This is a pretty big undertaking. We will have to seek out federal grant funding to begin, but I think our school board might eventually financially support a leap to laptops for all students once it was it was in progress. Any ideas, strategies, tactics, support, etc., would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I have an idea for helping our school community to continue to gain momentum on our 1:1 plan for next year. There a lot of questions about why we are moving to 1:1 and other questions about how we will do certain things. As amazing as we are in Burlington, MA, I am guessing that we probably do not have any unique questions or issues.</p>

Clearly we all see the value in 1:1. There have been some great comments about shifting pedagogy and the needed components. Please share your ideas and success for moving in this direction. How has your district prepared teachers? What are the mission critical components of this training? Where has the most resistance been? What web solutions have been the most useful? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!!

I am a person who can not image teaching everyday without a computer. I am a strong supporter of 1:1, but in order for this program to be successful the teachers must change how they teach. It is easy to put equipment in the hands of students, but how to develop the model to help how students teach?<br />

This is a huge issue for my though process?

Hi All...<br/><br/>I'm interested in what those of you that have implemented to address 500 + student wireless devices and classrooms where 35+ devices are pulling data from your wireless network? We currently have three sites, relatively new schools that we deployed a CISCO controllers and Access Points. In those schools we have APs connected to 1Gig, Power over ethernet (POE) ports. The design is, essentially, one wireless access point per classroom. Even with this set up we have seem some latency when 35 students are connecting to the wireless in a classroom. (We don't have a true 1:1 in these schools but COWS, computers on wheels-35 set carts). For example, GoogleDocs will show some slow response, ie. type a work in a doc and it shows up on the screen after a half second delay. This is not always the case in these classes, but we have had teachers express some slow access issues. In the rest of our schools we have implemented prosumer NetGear WAG102 access points and use them throughout the school in key locations. We also have one in each of our 5th Grade classrooms participating in our initial 1:1 netbook deployments. This surprisingly works quite well in these instances but it is unmanaged and occasionally suffers from location/building/infrastructure issues that are hard to track.<br/><br/>What wireless strategies are you using in your schools where you have deployed school wide 1:1 programs?<br/><br/>For those of you that have not deployed 1:1 school wide, what are your design plans for implementing wireless?<br/><br/>Looking forward to the discussions!<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/> How do we ensure 1:1 access?tag:www.classroom20.com,2010-12-01:649749:Topic:5733322010-12-01T16:15:34.286ZRich Kikerhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/RichKiker

How is your school or organization doing this? Are iTouches and other mobile learning devices being deployed? How are you handling security and connectivity? Can students access WiFi at school with their own devices? Please share and come back often so we can all learn and grow together. <div><br/></div>
