1-to-1 environments open up new possibilities for teaching and learning. But what
is the best way to transform a traditional classroom into a 1-to-1 environment and
take advantage of all the educational resources available? The 1-to-1 Journey Conference,
now in its second year, is a two day intensive workshop designed to address the
issues imperative to decision makers when considering adopting or in the process
of implementing a 1-to-1 technology program.
The conference will delve into issues associated with upfront and ongoing costs,
timeframes, gaining buy-in from the school community, Tablet PCs vs. Notebooks,
types of software applications to consider and assess the hardware needs of your
school. Higher level strategic considerations will also be highlighted relating
to policy, human and physical infrastructure and ongoing funding implications. The
program also includes a real-life Case Study from a school who have recently implemented
a 1-to-1 student notebook program. This presentation will offer an honest and interesting
insight into what worked and problems encountered and will provide advice for implementation
in your own school. New to the conference in 2010, there are also a number of curriculum-based,
hands-on workshops throughout the program designed for teachers.
Attendees will have access to internationally acclaimed speaker Bruce Dixon, President
of the Anytime Anywhere Learning Foundation and Travis Smith, former Deputy Principal
of Frankston High School and now the National Manager of Expanding Learning Horizons.
Let Expanding Learning Horizons and Computelec help your school fully embrace the
Digital Education Revolution and realise the benefits that a 1-to-1 student notebook
program brings.
