I don't have the statistics on other one-to-one programs you asked about in number one as our reason for a one-to-one program was not because x number of other schools have one. One program of note that you might want to look into if you haven't already is in Maine. They have a statewide one-to-one program that includes all (I think) public middle schools and some high schools.<br /><br />You might be able to follow-up with <a href="http://alicebarr.org/" rel="nofollow">Alice Barr</a> or <a href="http://www.cheryloakes.com" rel="nofollow">Cheryl Oakes</a> about Maine's program. They are both tech-savvy, innovative, Maine educators.<br /><br />I probably won't get to your other questions until the week of July 27 though as I'm away through all of next week. Is that time-frame still useful to you? You can email me at campbb [at] d-e [dot] org if you wish.<br /><br />Also, I'd be interested in seeing your article after it is written. If you post it publicly, please add a comment here with a link to it.Bill Campbell (bjc)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02917574135021574774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14998468.post-79976886713321541262009-07-16T13:34:55.602-04:002009-07-16T13:34:55.602-04:00Hi Mr. Bill Campbell,
My name is Annie Park and ...Hi Mr. Bill Campbell,<br /> <br />My name is Annie Park and I am a journalism student from Northwestern University's summer program.<br /> <br />I am wondering if it would be alright to ask you a few questions for my article. We were assigned to write a trend story about a topic of<br />our choice; I chose to study the increasing amount of technology used in school classrooms.<br /><br />I go to an international school in Korea and we use the one-to-one laptop program.<br /> <br />1. Do you have any information or statistics about the number of one-to-one laptop programs initiated in the past several years? (total number, percentage increase, any number would be good)<br /> <br />2. In your opinion, why is it important for students to use laptops at school? Why is it important for schools to incorporate more technology in their curriculum? (what are the benefits, etc.)<br /> <br />3. Are there any negative sides to using laptops at school?<br /> <br />4. How have schools' general curriculums changed after this program started?<br /> <br />Also, if you know anybody or any source that might be able to give me more information about this, please let me know.<br /><br />Please reply to anniexbananie@gmail.com<br /> <br />Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to read this comment.<br /> <br />Sincerely,<br />Annie ParkAnnie Parknoreply@blogger.com
