Dear Julene,
I'm new to ning, a member of the network creators group, and planning some exciting things for our learning community website for students and teachers interested in rainforests. I'm looking for website and technical assistance re: ning and camaraderie for some exciting network building on ning as we migrate to a private url.

I'm trying to make some major web decisions and would love to hear from you. I'm not sure how to initiate our discussion. Would there be a time that we could talk? Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Frances

Laptop Learning: Preparing Students for Tomorrow

In order to prepare our students to be successful global citizens, we need to guide them to be self–directed in their learning and to be lifelong learners. Ubiquitous computing such as that in a school with laptops allows students to be self–directed in their studies. "Laptop learning" is one way that educators can provide opportunities for students to be engaged and empowered with their own education. Share your successes, your thoughts, your ideas, and your concerns here so that we can communicate and collaborate to create authentic learning experiences for our students.

People, not Laptops

In a recent online publication titled "Technology in Education Integration: People not Laptops," written by Ron Canuel who is the Director General of Eastern Townships School Board in Quebec, Canada, the focus is on the teachers and students, and not the technology. Bravo!!

In Search of Research (and Resources)!

While those of us involved in successful laptop programs recognize the power and impact that laptops can have on student learning (and on teachers' teaching), we are always looking for resources to support our programs. And, we are constantly being asked to justify the program even after several years of implementation. Research support has been slow and tedious, and much of it is anecdotal.

I recently discovered the "K-12 Computing… Continue

Top Three Software Recommendations for Laptops, Please!

What are the top three software programs you install on laptops in your schools? By "top three," which are the ones you and your students use most creatively or productively? Okay, if you can't limit this to three, then give us the top ones! ;-)

In your reply, please indicate if you have Macs or Windows laptops at your school, then list the top apps your students use (not web-based). Do NOT include Movie Maker on Windows machines or iLife on Macs as those come pre-installed. Share the ones you… Continue
