So how do I go about making 1-1 computing work in my classroom and be able to show how much it improves student learning? Here are SOME of my thoughts (a lot of them are on sticky notes around my desk and rattling around in my brain):
1. What should I use as an avenue for student work, communication, etc.?
I'm going to try using Google - It seems to have everything I need (wikis, blogs, forms, email, Earth, scholar, etc.) and since students are getting gmail accounts through the school, setting this up should work really well. The students would also be able to bring this account with them to other classes, to the next grade, and even into their life after school.
2. I plan on having more authentic, project-based assessments
3. More to come later...it's midnight
