Creative Commons - What is it? How did it come to be?

Looking back, looking forward

Dear Editor,

Having been an active participant in the day-to-day learning curve both teachers and students have experienced in the one-to-one rollout of laptops this school year, my hindsight view definitely leans toward thinking “how fortunate we are”.

Assuredly, with every large-scale implementation such as a one-to-one initiative, there are bound to be challenges.  Successful implementation integrating technology does not just start with opening the laptop lid.  The amount of planning and the intricate web of network and online access, as well as software installs are daunting to say the least.  In addition, instructional styles and lesson planning must also adapt to match the widespread connectivity.  Yes, teachers, as well as students are part of the learning and growing process together!

The very fact that we can (more often than not) seamlessly access course content at a point-and-time of our choosing via Schoology, message teachers with questions (and receive answers) outside of scheduled class time and do so with a personal device issued for our educational use is cause for some positive reflection.

While challenges can “take some of the wind out of our sails”, when looked at within a larger context, we indeed are learning in fortunate times.  Besides, if we experience a problem…helpdesk is only a stop away.
