1:1 Research

• This is a published report on a 1:1 pilot program that took place at Glenbrook North High School.  It is a well put together report, including their findings on student engagement and device use for their 1:1 pilot.
• I recently came across an interesting blog by an instructional technology person.  The following are his 5 essential tips to help integrate ipads into your school
• The Huffington Post recently had an article on The Rise of Tablets As Textbooks.  This is an interesting article because it really focuses on the challenges, and even a bit of the negative side that is the reality when switching from textbooks to tablets.
• Also I wanted to pass along this article, How to teach your CFO about ITAM, that looks at the financial impact of IT asset management within organizations. The influx of lower cost, high-tech devices in schools, and how they are managed, can greatly affect school districts.
• Lastly, as a lighter article – we have a highlight from TEDTalks Education – focusing on inspiring talks recommended by the speakers themselves.
