Help the Midwest’s 1:1 districts learn from each other about innovative teaching, learning, and administrative practices that are occurring in their districts;
Build excitement and ‘buzz’ around 1:1 laptop computing initiatives in the Midwest; and
Help others who are interested in 1:1 computing learn more about how to get started and be successful.
The institute is open to anyone interested in 1:1 laptop computing initiatives in P-12 schools, whether they currently are working in such a program or just want to learn more. http://iowa1to1.com/ Session Resources
When was the last time you were in a classroom and you heard "oohs" and "ahhs" from the students? Can you remember a time when their reaction to a learning opportunity was visceral and authentic (and, potentially loud!)?
We need more ooh and ahh moments in our schools, but how do we create them?
