VSTE+2011

Regina King - rsking@rcps.edu Toni Jefferies - thjeffries@fcps.edu Fairfax County Two classrooms, one in 4th and one in 6th, were given netbooks for each student. Students are to use them at least 75% of the day. Teachers had to apply to get the netbooks and show how they would teach differently. They had to show what they did before 1:1, and what they would do after 1:1. Students that usually have the messy desk with papers all over and never organized, it helped them because all of their papers are saved files on the netbooks. Every kid has a bracelet memory device to take data from school to home and back. Each student had their own account on the network. Digital cameras, Smartboard, flip video, podcasts, SMart response systems, online textbooks, Web 2.0 applications, blackboard, one note, internet safety and copyright laws. Kids are making newsletters, blogging, wikis, creating databases and spreadsheets, graphic organizers
