+Importance

Times are changing in the 21st Century.

Students need to learn to collaborate, think critically, communicate well with others and be creative to meet the new demands in the workforce.

The answer: PBL and one to one computing allow teachers and students to meet these 21st Century goals.

+Purpose of the Study

Design a wiki/website that documents the process of becoming PBL and one to one computing proficient.

Interview teachers and survey them to understand what their excitement, concerns or fears might be in regard to beginning the PBL and one to one computing journey.


4

+ Literature Review

A. This literature review focuses on first the history of PBL and one to one computing.

-John Dewey-Constructivism

-Marzano-essential standards and PBL

B. Then it focuses on struggles that teachers encounter during the journey.

-Donovan and Green- How technology is set up really matters. Specifically the combination of using PBL , one to one computing and good classroom management skills= success.

-ACOT and ACOT2- stages of technology integration.

C. Focusing on ways to avoid barriers and implement PBL and one to one computing successfully.

-Jason Ravitz- Online guide to PBL and thee buck institute

-Peggy Ertmer- 1st and 2nd order barriers to one to one computing “ block busting strategies”.

- Hurdles to implementing PBL

- Case study of five teachers using PBL

5

+ACOT stages of Tech Integration

Entry Learn the basics of using the new technology.

Adoption Use new technology to support traditional instruction.

Adaptation Integrate new technology into traditional classroom practice. Here, they often focus on increased student productivity and engagement by using word processors, spreadsheets ,and graphics tools.

Appropriation Focus on cooperative, project-based, and interdisciplinary work—incorporating the technology as needed and as one of many tools.

Invention Discover new uses for technology tools, for example, developing spreadsheet macros for teaching algebra or designing projects that combine multiple technologies.

+Key Themes

The goal of this literature review is first to examine the history of one to one computing and PBL

Then focus on the issues and concerns in regard to PBL and and one to one computing.

Then to focus on solutions and success with PBL and one to one computing.


7

+Implications

This study will not only help teachers at the researchers site but help teachers all over the nation and world trying to implement PBL and one to one computing in their own classrooms.


8

+ GapsRavitz- He created an online website/guidebook with advice for PBL and one to one computing available through the Buck institute. However even more examples specific to subject and content areas need to be made available.

Ertmer- More studies need to be done in regard to teachers in the beginning stages of the process. She focused on five teachers already using PBL for a long time however she suggests a need to study the early stages of the process.

ACOT2- wants to compile more testimonies and content specific examples of the process of becoming PBL and one to one computing proficient proficient.

9

+ Importance and Justification

As times are changing teachers and schools need to keep up with producing students ready to enter a work force where 21st century skills are required.

There is not enough studies done on the early process of becoming PBL and one to one computing proficient.

Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow Today ( ACOT2) want to gain actual testimonies from the journey of teachers becoming PBL and one to one computing proficient.
