    #vt1to1 in 1 school, students suggestion was to not let computers go home when there is no homework to help group adhere to expectations

    @techsavvygirl not letting them bring home the computer... Would that prevent some independent learning? #vt1to1

    #vt1to1 #vted How do we help teachers let go of the idea of control and let students help them teach (and learn!)

    RT @AskBj: 1:1 allows for more communication, but it is important to establish ways to manage the communication so it stays on-task. #vt1to1

  16. But the overarching theme of the morning was the potential for 1:1 environments to provide transformative, student-led learning experiences.

    #vt1to1 love the idea that kids created their own classroom to document their learning with their new devices from 1:1

    Having 1:1 tech in classroom changes relationship roles of teachers & students. Drives bolder teaching practices/student learning. #VT1to1

    #vt1to1 Love the idea - students who had used 1:1 presented to new teachers about what worked best 4 them with their LMS use from last year

    @techsavvygirl Great idea! Need tech users to share w/ those who control tech in schools. Help it meet needs of the users. #vt1to1 #vted

    Like idea of including students in Digital Citizenship Team or trouble shooting. The kids know more than us what's out there! #VT1to1 #vted

  24. Learning Management Systems (LMS's) were also a hot topic, both in choice of implementation and necessity.

    Susan Hennessey@hennesss
    Edu2.0, Haiku, Edmodo, Canvas, Moodle - is adoption of a LMS crucial to the success of a 1:1 implementation? #vt1to1 #vted
