1 1:1 Device Parent Information Evening Gail Moynagh and Alistair West

2 Purpose of this session Why: Why are we implementing 1:1? Our vision: The all-round man and 21 st Century Learner Research supporting 1:1 Programmes How: How will we get there? What: What will it look like? What devices will the students have? What might this mean for my son and our family? What support structure is in place?

3 Learning with Technology... How children have learned and gain knowledge has changed with technology and the resources at their finger tips. Schools need to change their focus from being primarily knowledge based to balancing this with other key skills.

4 Why are we implementing 1:1? Mission Statement: To provide our students with an excellent and holistic education that allows them to contribute as global citizens who think creatively, reason critically, communicate effectively and develop the necessary skills to Learn. For Life.

5 Why are we implementing 1:1? Building the All-Round Man: Involvement in community/communities Service College/House Exchanges/Global connections 21 st Century, Modern Learner/ Learning for life Digital futures one to one IB programmes/ncea Differentiated teaching and learning Healthy self Well-being/Hauora Values/ leadership Co-curricular/EOTC Learning.

7 6 Skills of a 21st Century Learner Collaboration: Are students required to share responsibility and make substantive decisions with other people? Is their work interdependent? Knowledge construction: Are students required to construct and apply knowledge? Is that knowledge interdisciplinary? Self-regulation: Is the learning activity long-term? Do students plan and assess their own work, and revise their work based on feedback? Real-world problem solving and innovation: Does the learning activity require solving authentic, real-world problems? Are students solutions implemented in the real world? The use of ICT for learning: Are students passive consumers of ICT, active users, or designers of an ICT product for an authentic audience? Skilled communication: Are students required to communicate their own ideas regarding a concept or issue? Must their communication be supported with evidence and designed with a particular audience in mind? Ref: 21CLD Learning Activity Rubrics

8 Why are we implementing 1:1? The research Today's students are not the same learners they were- they live in a multimedia world where they constantly connect and collaborate. They access information that is live and on-demand. Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important. Bill Gates If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow. John Dewey (1915)

9 Why are we implementing 1:1? The research Allows access to information anytime, anywhere. Creates confident, flexible, self-directed, life-long learners (1:1 programme must go beyond simply equipping students with computers). It supports and allows for different learners and different needs (differentiation). Students take more ownership for their learning; when given more responsibility they tend to perform better (choice in presentation and their learning pathway). Shifts the focus from teaching to learning (students empowered -active learners and connect ideas in new ways) Learning is deeper and they engage in more intellectual, conceptual, analytical and creative thinking

10 Why are we implementing 1:1? The research Allows collaboration, communication and connection to ideas and people. Leads to greater student accountability and engagement when personally owned. Laptops increase student engagement, with students reporting an incredible increase in the amount of work they are doing both in and out of school. It replicates a technology-rich environment that is already common in business and higher education It encourages development of skills that create life-long-learners- Critical, creative and collaborative thinkers/learners. Successful 1:1 programmes have been shown to boost test scores significantly, with increased student engagement and motivated learning. htm

11 Research and papers that may be of interest Discussion and research behind 1:1 and BYOD programmes: Innovative Teaching and Learning:

12 How will we get there? Develop a team- of E-learning representatives across departments Develop the infrastructure Develop the software infrastructure Develop a portal Develop an acceptable use policy Discuss with the community Build a curriculum Consider Devices Provide ongoing PD

13 Building a Curriculum 1:1 and IB

14 Professional Development SAMR model by Dr Ruben Puentedura - Does it improve our delivery? - Don t throw the baby out with the bath water! - Does it allow us to develop the skills needed - for a 21 st Century Learner? - How can we adapt what we already do? - Exercise books vs OneNote and Virtual Classrooms. - Changes will occur, but this will depend on what teachers believe is the best for their students learning and the activities/assessment they are undertaking - Note taking by hand has still been proven to be more beneficial than typing onto a computer. - There will be variation with teachers!

15 Choosing Devices Mandating a device vs BYOD Consider the teaching environment Laptops v ipads - creation vs consumption tools Servicing is key to minimise disruption to learning Windows chosen because that s what staff are comfortable with Microsoft Student Advantage Office 365 Cloud based intranet, collaboration space OneNote the digital exercise book!
