One of the things that I have learned so far in my study of 1:1 is that schools must first have a clear idea of the rationale and goals of a 1:1 program. With that in mind, I would really like us to focus on WHY we want a 1:1 program. What do we want and hope students will gain from a 1:1 program?
Think about the articles we have read so far as well as the discussions we have had and then post an entry of what you think is important for Pollard students to gain. Start your entry with the statement:

Our thinking around this issue will continue to develop and evolve over the course of the year. I look forward to your comments.

...it supports how students can learn and how they canacquire knowledge in the 21st century. As educators, we are not just the providers as once existed.

That is powerful and leads to collaborative efforts in the classroom
