I will make this post our beginning, and I plan on writing more on the topic in the near future. We are currently exploring the possibility of implementing a 1:1 program at our middle school with our roughly 1,060 students next year. My research was centered around the premise that these devices would prove to be both a conduit and source of production for our students' learning.
After evaluating the devices above, we realized that a hybrid environment will likely be the most effective for our purposes. In our environment, we plan on distributing a netbook running Linux to the general student population. When we were considering the various devices, the full laptops were ruled out fairly quickly due to cost and size.
We then looked more closely at the iPads and netbooks. TED-Ed | Lessons Worth Sharing. MindShift | How we will learn. MindShift explores the future of learning in all its dimensions. We examine how learning is being impacted by technology, discoveries about how the brain works, poverty and inequities, social and emotional practices, assessments, digital games, design thinking and music, among many other topics. We look at how learning is evolving in the classroom and beyond.We also revisit old ideas that have come full circle in the era of the over scheduled child, such as unschooling, tinkering, playing in the woods, mindfulness, inquiry-based learning and student motivation.
We report on shifts in how educators practice their craft as they apply innovative ideas to help students learn, while meeting the rigorous demands of their standards and curriculum. MindShift has a unique audience of educators, tinkerers, policy makers and life-long learners who engage in meaningful dialogue with one another on our sites. Contact the us by email.
