  • Pilot: September 2010 to June 2011
    • 40 classes per country = all in all 240 classes
    • 5 teachers per class= 250 teachers per country=all in all 1200 teachers involved

  • The use of 1:1 in education :
  • highlights the fact that the learners have access to netbooks at all times
  • takes advantage of blended learning approach alternating different activities,
  • e.g. teacher-led vs. individual or collaborative activities, online or offline activities

Do netbooks require a different type of pedagogy ? 16. Variety of activities during a 1:1 lesson Frontal teaching Group Individual 17. Netbook, like ICT, is a means to learn! Frontal teaching Group Individual 18. Alternation of on-line & off-line activities Frontal teaching Group Individual on-line off-line on-line off-line on-line off-line 19. Useless to aim for 100% usage rate! 20.

  • Help teachers orchestrate the learning situations with netbooks
  • The interplay :
    • between different activities
    • between individual and social processes
  • Short sequences alternating activities (e.g. sequencing different activities)
  • Describe the organisationl conditions (material and tools, classroom setting, estimated time, evaluation)
  • Step-by-step
  • Suggestion rather than prescriptive
  • Not subject-specific or detailed lesson plans
