While visiting my first Edcamp in Charlotte, NC this past February, I realized there were a lot more school districts out there with 1:1 initiatives. In fact, the Edcamp itself was held in a Personalized Learning Model School. The physical space was amazing and every classroom had working group spaces for students using all variety of materials from tables and chairs to bean bags and stools. I never figured out what tablet/device their students use, but I knew immediately what they didn't have; The Amplify Tablet. While there, I created a new word called "APPHAUSTED". This is how I felt as local and visiting educators rattled off app after app after app after app after, throw in a web-based tool, app after app......that they use in their classroom, some for the simplest of things. I remember thinking over and over again.....Well, I wont write that one down, because our tablets already do that. Well, I wont write that one down, because our tablets already do that.
I read what you read and I want you to love it as much as I do!
