I am a principal who wants to move to one to one. I am leaning toward the IPod touch or IPad for this. Can anyone give me some suggestions? I want something that students can own and take home with them and then use at school. I would really appreciate any suggestions you may have on this subject.
Students utilize the "computer" for classwork, to access electronic texts, utilize web resources for research, use the device as a responder. Students would purchase the equipment and utilize them every day.
Sounds like we have many common interests! Our district is working towards a 1:1 initiative in our high school. I think we're about two years away IF funding works out for us. Big if. We're a Mac district, so if this works out, I think we'll use iPads. Kansas City, KS has already done this with MacBooks. They lease the machines. Westside in Omaha, NE also does this. I haven't visited their campus, but from what I hear, it's very impressive.
My Del.icio.us account has a couple of iPod articles tagged. You're welcome to network with me while we look into these areas together!
