Hi Pat
It is nice to put a picture to a name. I see that you have entered the CoF wiki. I look forward to what you can add regarding digital libraries and libraries of the 21st century. Any resources and wisdom you can place there will be very useful to the development of the CoF.
Hi Patt,
I reposted those great ideas for 1:1 English classrooms prompted by your ISED query to the English Teachers group on this site... http://isenet.ning.com/group/englishteachers/forum/topic/show?id=1194706%3ATopic%3A10418
I hope all of you will contribute to the discussion on NAIS Principles of Good Practice for Independent School Libraries. I think this is something we really need and which will prove quite valuable.
Alison, Can you send something out to ISS? This would be a good way to get a discussion going about having principles of good practice for libraries thru the NAIS web site.

I've attached the rationale letter we send out every year to the families of students entering our laptop program.
I wrote a short book about 1:1 programs about 7 years ago. A lot of the information is dated but I think the material related to wh...
We're planning to offer such a class next year to our 7th-8th graders and are looking into VE software alternatives. We are PC based.
Does anyone have user based comments on Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas, or Adobe Elements? Or any other software yo...
Jim,
Great surveys! Of the two the MS survey seems a little stronger. What I feel is missing from the HS survey is questions that capture the ubiquitous fluid use of computers that develops over time in 1:1 schools. For instance, I see a lot of s...
A few years ago I created a graphic to represent the "essential objectives" of a MS laptop program. You can see it at
