3 1.To see if a school without the funding for new technologies, one who would never see this kind of technology would feel comfortable having 1:1 computing. 2. To introduce this type of technology in the classroom. 3. To see how the students would react if they were able to have their own computers in the classroom.

4 Teachers With 1:1 Computing 1. If you were able to have 1:1 computing in your classroom and home would you post lesson plans, and homework assignment on the Internet weekly? -Yes, for the classes that I do teach I feel this wouldn’t be too hard of a task. -Yes, I would LOVE to use the Internet daily and add homework, lesson plans, and other events. - I am very incompetent with computers. I would need a lot of help getting up to speed, but would do it. -Yes, I would find it very convenient. 2. Would you feel comfortable receiving homework from students through e-mail or blog system? -Yes, I think with what I do know about computers I could handle that. - Yes, With a specific agreement with the students/parents - Yes, but there could be many problems with that. #1 - Items lost in transfer #2 - Computer Breaks down/ something doesn’t function properly - I don’t right now, but I could get used to it.

5 Cont. 3. What positives do you feel you would have in your classroom with 1:1 Computing? -I do feel it would help students learn, they like computers and it would benefit them. -I would create different opportunities for kids to learn the materials in health. -I think the students would pay closer attention if they are required to take notes and send them to me --More interaction with students -I would be able to use multiple CD-Rom programs that I currently barely use. Also, students could use them with probes that connect via USB port. 4. What negatives do you have towards 1:1 computing just from what we have stated today? - 1. Price 2. Students demolish most items 3. Have to renew them every ___ years. -Kids playing around on the Internet - Kids abusing computer (hardware) -The only negative would be how could a school system afford these for all students -1. Students would be sidetracked in class by having a computer around 2. The cost will keep this from happening until the state/fed. Deems it to be worthy 3. We have very poor tech support in this building so what happens when we have problems.

6 1. Would you feel comfortable having and taking care of your own laptop knowing that it will cost you if it gets damaged? - Yes -Yes - Yes - Sort of -I don’t know, sometimes I could but sometimes it would get in my way. 2. Would you be able to stay off the Internet and other distracting areas of your computer while in class? -Yes - Yes - Probably Not - It depends on the class. Classes I need to pass I could stay off those sites but any other class I don’t need to graduate I would get on those sites. 3.What positives would you say there would be by having you own laptop while in school? -You could get help anytime. -Do your work on it, you could get help anytime. -You wouldn’t have to write pages of notes, wouldn’t waste paper - Not wasting paper, easier, faster - Stop wasting paper, Easier to take notes, Be more creative with projects, accomplish more.

7 1.What negatives would you say there would be while having a laptop in school? -The temptation to get distracted -Other people abusing their privileges so others are punished. - It would take you off track while in class - Carpel Tunnel - DISTRACTING - Kids would be on MSN messenger all the time.

8 OVERALL -Overall, the teachers and the students would like to have 1:1 computing in their classrooms. -Students would learn more ect. -Get more done (being a teacher)
