Hello Kate,

I wasn't sure if you were aware that there was a webinar last night that might be useful for your project. The speaker is involved in a school where there is a 1:1 laptop program for students and teachers. I copied and pasted the email.

Hope this helps,

Casssandra


A message to all members of Classroom 2.0
Join me for an interactive discussion in Elluminate this evening with Larry Cuban, Emeritus Professor of Education at Stanford University, and the author of the Oversold and Underused: Computers in the Classroom, The Blackboard and the Bottom Line: Why Schools Can't Be Businesses, and Why Is It So Hard to Get Good Schools?.

From his blog (http://larrycuban.wordpress.com/about):

"I am a former high school social studies teacher (14 years), district superintendent (7 years) and university professor (20 years). I have published op-ed pieces, scholarly articles and books on classroom teaching, history of school reform, how policy gets translated into practice, and teacher and student use of technologies in K-12 and college.

"My most recent research projects have been a study of school reform in Austin (TX) 1954-2009 and of a large comprehensive high school in Mapleton (CO) being converted into several small ones between 2001-2009. The Austin book, As Good As It Gets, will come out early 2010. The Mapleton study was done with Gary Lichtenstein, Arthur Evenchik, Martin Tombari, and Kristen Pozzoboni and will be published in 2010 with the title Against the Odds.

"Currently, I am studying a high school where teachers and students have had 1:1 laptops for the past four years."
