Session notes: Constructivist Teaching with Technology: Learning with Laptops

Karl Fisch, Arapahoe High School with Brian Hatak, Brad Meyer, Anne Smith and Barbara Stahlhut

Three high school classes received laptops to use in their classrooms.
Students did not take the laptops home.
AP Government class showed significant improvement on AP test scores after one year.
Staff development centered on constructivist learning approaches – not the laptops.
