I have enjoyed my time at the conference and have learned some new things that will lead us to the future:
For more posts, check out http://vvrotny.edublogs.org/

1. There is no perfect 1 : 1 program as each school has had struggles with parents, teachers and sometimes students.
2. Focus on the Learning and Engagement and not the technology (Durham Academy Digital Learning Initiative) DADLI not DEADLI
3. Develop a group/cohort to move it forward and support teachers how ever you can
4. Urban School and Maine seem to have the most solid approaches with respect to how best to do it.
5. There is no doubt we need to do a digital device.
6. What we do now will change from what we start with so we must remain flexible
7. The landscape for both devices and e-books is dynamic
8. Professional Development is critical
9. Leadership is essential as there will be folks who want to jump in, some who need convincing, and others who plan to retire or corrupt the program.

I think we need to bring more folks to this conference next year.

PS: I have used ecto for all of this posting and love it.
