Fourth Annual One-to-One Computing Conference

On February 8, 2006, Governor Ed Rendell announced his proposed budget which included the “Classrooms for Our Future” initiative. Governor Rendell proposed that, “by 2009, every public high school classroom used to teach the four core subjects will have an Internet-equipped laptop computer on every student’s desk ... as well as paying for a multimedia technology unit at the teacher desk. What’s more, we will invest in professional development for Pennsylvania teachers and school leaders to teach them how to use the new technology that will boost the skills and knowledge of our students.”

This conference is designed to help educators prepare for one-to-one teaching and learning environments. This conference attracts one-to-one pioneers from across the US and Canada, but because of the significant presence of educators from Pennsylvania, there will be great opportunities for conversations that will help PA high schools prepare for the one-to-one classrooms that are emerging across the state, and in Classrooms for the Future (CFF) classrooms in particular.
