What I’ve learned

• One to One gives students options for final products. (iMovie, Keynote, PowerPoint, Word/Pages Templates, ComicLife, etc..)

• Student quality of work appears to be better. (When students take a vested interest in the project.)

• Allows more “projects” because “class time” is not as big as an issue as before.

• Easier to differentiate curriculum and provide “multiple pathways” to learning.

What I’ve learned continued...

• Important to pre-teach expectations, assignments, and model as much as possible, but still give students enough freedom to wow you.

• Important to have “consequences” for students who are off-task or easily distracted. Place yourself in classroom where you can view student screens. Remember “I’m Still in Charge.”

• Have “paper-copies” or a PLAN B ready for those students without a computer or when the network goes down.

• Good Teaching is still Good Teaching. (Active Participation, Clear Objectives, Checking for Understanding, etc...)
