A interesting look at using Technology in the classrooms with an overseas perspective. The philosophy of technology choice is relevant regardless of where you hail from.

Creating an environment of personalised technology choice:

“A while ago I decided that it is futile to try and apply some of the structures and practices that US and international schools have in light of their 1:1 personal computing setup. I spent time bookmarking online information about the topic. Most of it is fine in theory but fairly difficult to apply in my primary school. Much of what I read is to do with an older age range and far different environments than our own. The sites included ‘blueprints to 1:1 computing’ and complete ‘guides’ suggesting, just from the rhetoric of the titles, that one size (may) fit all. Although we may learn lessons from what other teachers, schools and districts have been doing it seems we will have to discover our own UK primary version of what a 1:1 classroom looks like.”
