Vision, Plan, Goals for School To be successful, a one-to-one initiative requires much more than simply providing devices for students and teachers. It requires a shared vision for learning.

Began with one grade level Teachers received their devices first, completed 8 hours of PD, and explored over the summer. iPad iMovie Began with one grade level 4th grade students received their iPads in August.

Lesson Planning and Procedures iPad mission statement and Hopes and Dreams How to use the camera, take screen shots, use Safari, and Skitch. Established procedures and routines for iPad distribution and collection. iPad contracts were signed.

Focused on Basic Content Creating Apps

Students Worked as Independent Learners in Stations Gradual Release of Responsibility: We taught the App to the class, they experimented, then the teacher designed lessons that promoted differentiation. Students became the experts and shared their findings with classmates.

Focused on Curriculum: Research and Assessment Students demonstrated their learning using Screen Chomp, Ask3, Skitch, Edmodo. 2 of the Most Powerful Outcomes from the 1:1 Initiative: Research and Assessment Focused on Curriculum: Research and Assessment Students enjoyed researching and publishing their findings.
