//Notes from Educational Collaborators//: //__Columbus School for Girls__ has a Tablet PC program (using Lenovo tablets) in grades nine through twelve that began four years ago. They offer Tablet specific teacher trainings and have created a Tablet PC handbook which is available on their web site. It standardizes procedures and gives the students and teachers a reference manual for their questions. It also has some great examples of classroom ideas and why 1:1 is important to each discipline. Their help desk is staffed by DeVry interns. Funding for the interns is partially subsidized by a federal work study program. They do a lot with Moodle and integrate tablet use into classroom work. The librarian is an integral part of the technology team.//

This 6-12 “one to one” initiative began in the middle school and has moved into the high schools. The district has approximately 6000 students K-12. Over the course of a 5 year implementation process (to be completed in 2012) all CH-UH students in grades 6-12 will be learning with Apple laptop computers as their instructional tolls. The program will enhance creativity among students and enhance the ways in which teachers engage students through a variety of teaching methods.//

//__Beachwood__ The program at the middle school actually started in the 8th grade in 2004 when the new building opened up. The one to one program is currently a middle school initiative as the high school has opted to use carts and open up the network for HS students to bring their own laptops. They use MACs at the Middle School. //**

//The One-to-One Tablet PC Program is the result of ten years of technology study at St. Ursula Academy. In preparing our young women for a changing world we are providing them with tools which enable them to be networked with information technology anytime and anywhere during their high school years here. The mission of the Tablet PC Program is aligned with the mission of St. Ursula Academy and with our responsibility to be visionaries of what will enhance and enrich the teaching and learning of those we serve. Having had laptops and then tablets themselves for the past ten years, as well as many in house and continuing education classes to learn how to use technology in the classroom, our faculty is ready and eager to go from using shared laptops on carts in the classroom to each student having her own computer.

Notes from Kim Henninger: We actually were instrumental in helping McAuley and ​Seton get their programs off the ground by providing information about our program through the consortium we helped establish. Now LaSalle, Mt. Notre Dame and Elder are starting next year or are close.//
