I enjoyed watching this video from Apple about Burlington (MA) High School’s 1:1 initiative. It’s very well done. If I remember correctly, Patrick Larkin, then principal of BHS, came to one of our first Iowa 1:1 Institutes before he and his colleagues launched their program. Now they’re rockin’ out!
I especially loved all the shots of the students (and Patrick’s desk!) in the hallways. Hey, wherever they can find a place to stretch out, intermix, and work together!
Happy viewing!
Burlington is also an innovator in the use of OER. Check out what their tech specialist Andrew Marcinek had to say in an Edutopia blog: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/transitioning-to-open-educational-resources-andrew-marcinek
