Luseland and Major Implementation

> Charging at Home > Charging at School
Spiritwood: Stored in Carts
Rationale: > more transient student population meant staff were
unsure that 'taking netbooks
home' would be the best option > parents were happy that netbooks would stay in school
Spiritwood: Daily Routines
START OF DAY:> 9 am homeroom class... students pick up netbooks
END OF DAY:> 3:05 pm homeroom class... students 'hand in' netbook DURING THE DAY:> goes with students> keep in their lockers at noon> hand in to library if gone earlier in the day
Daily Use of NetbooksNETBOOK USE: > daily classwork / research > less "paperwork" > digital textbooks > typing notes, create graphs > presenting to class > simple photo editing
LAPTOP USE: > video editing > photo editing
DESKTOP USE: > drafting software
Management of Netbooks
> Organization is KEY!!!
> Excel spreadsheet helps keep track of: > who has what netbook > passwords
> which ones are away for repair
Future Directions?Shifting Focus: > students interact with and find their own information > students use the netbook as the 'textbook' and find current
news articles > students develop more 'process skills' and deeper thinking > learning moves beyond classroom walls
