Thanks for the link, Jose. I’m not sure that I want a 1:1 either. I’d rather have a 2:1 ratio. eMINTS recommends 4:1 in K-3, 2:1 4-6, and then 1:1 grades 7-12. I would rather have student share a computer in partners than in 4-person cooperative groups. 4:1 is too few, 1:1 seems like too many. 2:1 will hopefully be just right.

Great news.Thin clients are a great way of getting nearer to that 1:1 ratio though that then puts the emphasis on lesson planning & adapting teaching skills to the availability of these new resources.
Wishing you well.

Not sure how I would teach in a 1-1 situation. I would start by looking at what Brian Crosby is doing over at http://learningismessy.com/blog At least in third grade I see a lot of challenges ahead in a 1-1 classroom. Let us know how it went.
