This week we are getting together to share our experiences in the area of classroom management and laptop use in one-to-one laptop classroom setting.
While I am getting ready for the meeting and making a list of gadgets I taught this semester and useful sites I would like to share with others, I am thinking that this High School staff meeting is a milestone that indicates our progress in using technology at school. Digital environments are not new anymore. I believe every teacher can make a presentation on a Web 2.0 tool and how it's used for teaching academic skills.
We all employ no different technologies: blogs, wikis, podcasts, voice threads, delicious, diigo, and other, so quickly developing in a technology based society. Communication, sharing, collaboration, and conversation are the new features that let us talk about a new level we reached in the development of one-to-one laptop program. Sharing our experiences and teaching techniques we use in class are what is making our meeting exciting and indicates us as a community of "a noble and humanizing meaning" "in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others" (Elie Wiesel).
I would like to use this opportunity to review a number of posts devoted to technology and especially the documents collected for Tech team presentation made last year.

I am very happy to see a teacher that will put the extra effort in to focus on one-on-one laptop learning. There have been new developments made for children to be exposed to laptops in school. These developments have made it possible for educational laptops to be supplied throughout the world, including classrooms in India.
