Teaching and Instruction
  • What is the impact on teaching behaviors, the curriculum, and instructional practices?
    • For what sorts of tasks do teachers use technology, and in what subjects?
    • For what sorts of tasks are students asked to use technology, and in what subjects?
    • How often and for how long do teachers and their students use technology?
    • How does classroom culture change (e.g., relationships between teacher and students)?

  • Do teachers implementing a 1:1 initiative have the technical skills they need to use the technology effectively? Are they engaged in professional development to learn needed skills and strategies?

  • What is the impact on teachers’ interactions with one another and on teacher communities? Are teachers sharing what they are learning?

  • What are the most promising instructional applications of technology (e.g., specific pieces of software, or specific Web sites) used within a given 1:1 initiative?
