Very impressive. Not since Carl Lewis had anyone won a 2nd straight gold medal on the 100 meter dash.

1:1 ipad implementations- this is your nightmare. This comment from a student is going viral on reddit with more than 1,000 comments. Basically, the school bought ipads, required students to pay $50 for insurance, set up a wiki for teachers to post assignments (but the teachers don’t.) The student actually posted this post from his/her ipad. Likely this experience on Reddit is going to be one of the best learning experiences of the year. Read this and share it with your 1:1 implementation team. iPads without a fundamental change in how you teach are just expensive toys. We need to change all of how school operates, not just what is in the kids’ backpacks.
iPads on their own are not magic wands. There must be a curriculum in place with iPad implementation. However, just like usual, administration is never able to justify their pay and take the time to think and plan. All they do is tell, tell, tell, but hardly ever show or have a plan. They depend totally on teachers to do everything! It’s always, “figure it out”.
