I don't really want a 1:1 program

Let's not just run onto the technology bandwagon, writes Tim Stahmer. "Why do we want every student to have a connected device in the first place? If our primary goal is improving test scores, we can probably find better, less expensive solutions." Well, yeah. But wielding an edited SAMR diagram, Doug Johnson redefines what it means to have a 1:1 program. Sure, we can think of it as one computer to one child, and we will probably have to do that in order to ensure equity, he writes. But more to the point, " LMS use will provide a launch pad that all students and teachers will use. Let's not call it a 1:1 program, unless the 1:1 stands for 1 unique learning experience to every 1 student." Yeah!
