Our district is preparing to go 1:1. For our district this means that the middle school students will all be receiving iPads. At the high school, this year many of the teachers will be getting an iPad and some other educational presentation devices. It is the intention that the students will be coming with those iPads next year.
This initiative will face many challenges. One is that the students are already challenged with how to use the technology and how to be good digital citizens. This year it will be my position to take a group of the incoming freshman and teach them how to use the Google Resources that are now available to them. My students will share laptops, but this is the first step to prepare for next year's roll out. It is also my hope to be able to provide some supports for the other teachers in my building.
