On a recent post one of our bloggers briefly discussed concern with financing and continuing the one-to-one program in his/her school. Many of our districts are coming up with ways to fund one-to-one programs beyond what the FTL program has provided. What types of innovative ideas is your school or district using to sustain your one-to-one program?

Connected Tech Opportunities

In the last post we discussed some professional development opportunities the the FTL program has offered and will continue to offer. We are also working to schedule the following PD workshops:

Project-based learning
Internet: Taking Learning Beyond Classroom Walls
Designing Webquests
Using Technology to Enhance Learning for At-risk Students
Using Multimedia to Enhance Teaching and Learning

Does your school need any specific help, or do you have ideas for PD opportunities? If so, share them here by posting and contact Kate Kennedy at katek@one-to-oneinstitute.org to get them scheduled.

Freedom to Learn has the ability to offer a wide range of professional development opportunities. These include ATA meets FTL Academy, ClassServer, Integrating Technology into the Classroom, Connected Tech, as well as several others. Most of the teachers participating in FTL have participated in some PD event. How are the teachers in your school doing? Is your school in need of specific PD?
