1:1 Laptops–week 1

Posted by nancyscofield on August 19, 2008




So we’re in full swing at school this week, and the laptops are everywhere. It’s really cool to have these tools in the students’ hands. We’ve had a few glitches, but from what I’ve seen, things are running pretty smoothly. We still need to add a couple more wireless access points to some areas of the building and an antenna to the roof so that the modular classrooms have access too.

What I find interesting is that when the kids walk in the classroom, the first thing they do is whip out their laptops. Yeah, we will use them a lot, no doubt. But it’s a TOOL. Not everything depends on that one tool. If only they were that ambitious about opening a book….an English teacher can dream, can’t she?

Stay tuned as we continue our adventures in 21st century learning.
