商品簡介
Costa provides superintendents, instructional supervisors, technology directors, teacher leaders, policy makers, and others with a resource detailing how to overcome the affordability and systems-change problems that prevent the move to 1:1 learning in public schools, in which each student has access to an electronic device to use for their learning to replace backpacks full of books. After explaining the rationale behind this, he demonstrates how to acquire and pay for equipment, including bring your own device (BYOD) advocacy, and discusses barriers to progress; using open source software; software migration and change strategies; print spending analysis tools; and strategies to support an organizational transition to open-source instructional materials, improve instructional and technology integration, support differentiated and customized instruction through technology, and manage risk and ensure long-term success, with links to digital resources and sample forms and templates. He then describes how to change the instructional system to maximize the benefit of students, with discussion of the foundations of these digital learning environments, their support systems, key twenty-first century skills and their assessment, twenty-first century task instructional design templates, leadership skills, and a three-phase implementation framework. Online access to adaptable tools, step-by-step guidelines, resources, and an interactive community is included. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
