Heard Alan November speak about the concept of one to one in our classrooms. Why do we call it one to one? Calling it 1:1 is about one person to one device. It should be called one to world because it should not be about the device but about what the device allows us to do. The device allows you to connect to the world. Language is important because it sets the thinking and how we see the use of technology in our classrooms.
One to one takes you down shortsighted path of research, etc.
There are many losses of going to one to one....plagiarism goes up, everyone playing games, more distraction.
1 to 1 makes it about the device and not the world
What makes best case....what we call it. 1. One To world creates empathy, 1 to 1 doesn't.
