Maybe I am old school but when my kids informed me that their schools was moving to a 1:1 program I cringed just a little bit.  For most school districts, 1:1 is when laptops are purchased and loaned to every student in the school building. Lessons are provided to the student through their laptops.

I have discussed on this podcast on numerous shows the dangers of  unchecked screen time. Now knowing that my kids will be spending another 8 hours on the computer is down right frighting. In order to soothe my fears and the fears of other parents, I invited 1:1 expert Heather Dowd to discuss the wonderful benefits of 1:1 programs.

Heather is the author  of the book Classroom Management in the Digital Age. In the book, Heather discusses how teachers should structure their classrooms to embrace 1:1 and also huge benefits the students will receive from the program. Heather soothed some of my fears. Here are some of the topics that we discussed on this podcast.
