While at NCCAT many teachers discussed their schools being 1:1 with laptops/iPads and my mind started to wonder. I wondered about all the things that my students could do in my classroom if they had the opportunity to be 1:1. The possibilities are limitless…there are so many great ways to foster student accountability as well as plan for rigorous lessons with the right tools. Without a doubt the greatest challenges for leveraging technology to empower learning in my classroom and school would be the sheer lack of “updated” technology. We have several computer labs (old computers/software) and a couple of laptop carts (that never work). However, I plan to talk to someone about the possibility of changing this problem.
