Teaching in a 1 to 1 computing environment is just that:  Teaching, but with computers.  It can be a very different experience from what you are accustomed to as a classroom teacher.  This course will cover  a variety of topics that include: HCSD plan of implementation and expectations, Digital Citizenship, Technology Standards, a model of integration (SAMR), Best Practices, and technology tools.

A 1:1 initiative will allow easy access to technology and best prepare our students for the 21st century. This would remove the need to schedule computer lab time or waste unnecessary time using a mobile cart model. True student and teacher ownership will create a sense of responsibility and desire for professional development and excitement to integrate technology within the classroom on a consistent basis. Beyond a powerful instructional tool, we believe a 1:1 initiative will provide teachers and students with a valuable means for assessment on a formative and summative basis. Moreover, this will allow us to phase out expensive textbook purchases and replace these with electronic textbooks.  Also, the daily printing costs and photocopying, resulting in high paper usage will be substantially reduced.
