-001 LEC (01/20/2015 - 05/08/2015) , STPAUL , Boeckers,Daryl Robert , instruction mode: Completely Online , 3 credits
One-to-one program initiatives, where all students and P-12 teachers receive laptop computers or tablets for use throughout the school day and usually at home, are being implemented around the country. The goal of these programs is to foster integration technology into P-12 contexts so that students are better prepared for the digitally-enhanced, networked world.
This course examines the educational paradigm shift 1-to-1 initiatives can mean for students, teachers, and schools. Students will study and/or observe 1-to-1 programs in action and develop their own 1-to-1 initiative, assessment strategies, and/or professional development ideas. Local and national examples of and research related to 1-to-1 programs are reviewed before delving into the considerations and processes of planning and implementing such programs.
