The Case for 1:1

Published by in 1:1, leadership, literacy on February 19th, 2007

My presentation at TCEA 2007 a couple of weeks ago titled “The Case for 1:1 Computing in Schools” is now available on the “Conference Connections” section of the Apple Learning Interchange. The presentation’s duration was 50:02. This is available as an audio-only podcast. My sources for this presentation are available as a public Google notebook.

I also interviewed Chad Fulton at TCEA, who is the coordinator of the laptop initiative in the College of Education at the University of Texas at Austin. A podcast of our interview is also available on “Conference Connections.” The duration of that interview podcast was 12:03.

    I appreciate your use of Google Notebook for the resources. My district has recently blocked out PBWiki and other wikis. Keep up the good work!

    Hi Wes,

    When I follow your link it appears I am required to install non-free software in order to listen to this file. Is there another way to access it?

    In the page source I find this link –

    http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/galleryfiles/9884/CC-TCEA07-Wes_Fryer.mp3

    but it doesn’t appear to work. I would like to hear your thoughts on 1:1 in schools. If there is no way for me to listen to this without forfeiting my freedom, could you direct me to a textual transcript?

    Peter:

    The link you pasted is a direct one to a MP3 file, so any free or commercial program you have on your computer that is configured to play MP3 files will work. This includes Microsoft’s Windows Media Player included on all Windows-based computers, as well as QuickTime player included in Macs and also available for Windows. Both players are free. If you update either one of these, it should let you re-assign file extensions including .MP3, so you can play those files. It is also possible you may be behind a content filter that is blocking access to MP3 files. In that case, you can either ask your network admin to permit access to the website and it’s MP3 files, or access the site from another location.

    A last option is to use a different website to access the file, I also posted a copy of this recording to the Internet Archive:

    I hope this is helpful, glad you’re wanting to listen to these ideas!

    Wes,

    The link I put up earlier now works as well as the one you posted. I have downloaded the file and will listen to it soon using VLC. Thank you.
