21 Steps to 21st Century Learning Online Institutes
Laptop programs are part of an international move towards personalized learning, designed to increase independence and self-initiated learning in students and extend their learning beyond the classroom. Institute leader Bruce Dixon, international pioneer of 1-to-1 learning and president of the Anytime Anywhere Learning Foundation, will take you through the steps you should follow to successfully implement a student laptop program and tailor the program to your vision and your school's needs. Based on the experiences of thousands of laptop schools around the world, the 21 STEPS TO 21st CENTURY LEARNING steps range from vision and goal setting through to budgeting and communications, as well as building pedagogical capacity through policy decisions and deployment.
