1. Feedback on 1-1 Learning Institute Frankfurt, Sept.27 to 29, 2012.

2. General Feedback The conference was beneficial regardless of level of IT literacy All kinds of presentations were offered (from beginner to advanced level) The pre-conference was mainly classroom visits/observations and students presentations (K-12 but mostly LS) Good mix of key speakers and smaller, more laid-back presentations (from teachers)

3. FIS – Lower School FIS -LS has 1laptop to 4.6 students ratio. FIS is ideally aiming at 1-2. Current ratio is not enough when several classes of 1 grade need laptops at the same time Kindergarten classes are equipped a set Ipads (5 to 8) with specifically designed covers for (easier grip, reduced risk of damage)

4. Software/Apps Puppet pals: K-2, Ipad: to make simple animated movies Smartboard: k-10, laptops  use of the software installed on students’ laptops for assessments, activities, etc

5. Software/Apps Notebinder, k-10, laptops: for electronic portfolios (photos, videos, documents, notes) Lexia, 1-5, ipads/laptops : reading program that helps target individual needs in reading as each student works independently on a device. Programs target on specific areas the student needs to improve on. Clicker 6, 1-5, laptops/smartboard: For EAL and/or special needs. This software allows a wide range of activities to build students’ literacy

6. Recommandations For the next 1-1 Learning Institute 2 members of staff, 1 member of leadership team and 1 IT coordinator could benefit from attending next 1-1 Learning Institute (2014) A competency transfer could be planned shortly after it

7. Recommandations Once ISH goes 1-1: A cloud for students and teachers A hardware “borrowing” platform An ongoing weekly planning time that fully integrates IT. A “mobile” document camera in US Develop a central email culture with the students for a 2-way communication
