Districts are implementing 1:1 laptops to better prepare students for the 21st Century.
ReplyDeleteWhy #2: To engage all students efficiently and effectively.
Why #3: To learn higher order (more rigorous) skill sets on how to analyze resources and apply information to create new meaning.
Why #4: If students are more engaged, especially in areas of interest and "equal" accessibility, students will learn to learn independently and in teams (and to problem-solve).
Why #5: Students need to know HOW to learn; how to continually learn; unlearn, and learn new.
