Webcast Description

The one-to-one computer model of computer usage has been on the scene for a number of years, but this approach has not been broadly adopted in part due to the cost. The arrival of low-cost mobile laptops and ultra mobile devices has the potential for changing that. This webcast will explore the potential instructional, technical, and policy considerations that adoption of low cost/ultra mobile will involve.

Web Hosts:

• Karen Greenwood Henke, Author and Consultant, Nimble Press (Moderator)
• Darryl LaGace, Director, Information Services, Lemon Grove School District, CA
• Jim Rapoza, Technology Analyst, eWeek
• Bob Tinker, Chief Executive Officer, Concord Consortium
