Success in Classes because… “Differentiated in genuine ways for all
students, with teachers who gather and mine just-in-time data.
Further, teachers, students, and parents use technology every day to collaborate about what to do next in their collective pursuit of learning.”
Weston & Bain 2010
It’s a Changing Learning Environment… “Each student and
teacher would struggle to see the relevance of such a question, because computers have become integrated in what they do.”
(Weston & Bain 2010)
The Power of a 1-1 initiative depends on how to empower students for the 21st century learning.
