A team from Irving Independent School District led a session at TCEA 2023 sharing the lessons they have learned over the past 20 years of running a one-to-one program.

I’ve posted this before but it’s worth repeating. Then share it with friends, colleagues, parents, even older students. When I teach professional development classes, by far the topic that surprises teachers the most is the legal use of online images. And they’re not alone. On my blog, in educator forums, and in the virtual meetings I moderate, there’s lots of confusion about what can be grabbed for free from online sites and what must be cited with a linkback, credit, au

With Emergency Connectivity Fund and Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds winding down, many schools are returning their focus to the Federal Communications Commission’s E-rate discount program for technology budget support.

Teaching is about attention — getting students to pay attention to the material, and to engage with new ideas so they can develop new skills and abilities. But getting and holding the attention of students has become more difficult since the pandemic, according to many college instructors around the country.

Years ago when I would speak to people about Google Docs I would get funny looks. It was an incredible tool that was just starting to be adopted by schools. I remember the first time I told someone that there was no save button in Google Docs because it saves automatically. I’d drawn them in by invoking the deep emotional pain of work lost by exiting without saving.

To support digital learning, many schools are implementing 1:1 device programs, where each student is provided with a device such as a laptop or tablet to use for learning and research. This can greatly enhance the educational experience for students providing them with access to a wide range of digital resources. However, managing and tracking these devices can be a significant challenge for school libraries.

You might also notice that many “experts” on AI are emerging, but no one can truly know the full potential of what AI will bring to our world. Many people sharing strategies aren’t necessarily experts in AI, as much as they probably are just great at learning and becoming adaptable to new opportunities for learning.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!
