Ways to fool-proof your 1:1

One-to-One Institute's Leslie Wilson did a great job identifying the main pitfalls of a 1:1 and how to avoid them. I heard her speak last week at the Intel Visionary Conference in D.C. She previously organized all the professional development for Michigan's Freedom to Learn program.

The savvy 1:1 administrator:

Tells stakeholders why school is pursuing a 1:1

Provides relevant research (One-to-One offers this)

Stays well-informed on trends and best practices

Leads by example by using the proposed technology

Stays available and willing to work through issues

Makes PD a priority each year of the program i.e. budget!!

Ensures consistent communication with parents

Chooses relevant assessment metrics and uses rubrics to measure progress each year
