Interviews from a 1:1 district
The following classroom videos are uploaded from various districts who are also engaged in a one to one program. Please feel free to view these and discuss how you might see similarities or differences in your one to one classroom environment!
In addition to these videos, we have included a link that will take you right to the Irving Independent School District website for more ideas and information. Please keep in mind that this district operates with some differences in their use policies; however, a majority of the technology integration can be done in similar ways here in Sunnyside.

Classroom
Management is one of the keys to all successful classrooms, be
they one to one or not. After all, how can one teach or
learn in an environment that is not condusive to such? As
the educational leader of our classrooms, it is the teacher's
responsibility to create the environment optimal for teaching and
learning to occur.
Class rules and expectations should always share the "THREE C's"...
CLEAR= Rules should be simple and easy to follow
CONCISE= Short and to the point. Not too many.
CONSISTENT= Equally applied to everyone at all times

It means understanding what is relevant to your students, embracing the best tools and methods to get the job done, and...oh yeah...SWIPING every good idea you can find modify and make it your own. Have fun EXPLORING!
