The transformation of  JTHS 1:1 Boot camp began June 4, 2012.  Over 70 teachers, administrators, and technology staff embarked on a new era for Joliet Township.  Tears were shed and frustration levels ran high at times during the learning at boot camp; however, by the end of the week the light at the end of tunnel was visible for most.  The 1:1 is about the students and their learning.

During my first ever keynote address, I used highlights from my learning on educational technology. From my PLN, I shared ideas from Steven Anderson @web20classroom, Ben Grey @bengrey, and Peter Reynolds'  The Dot.  After reading an article this morning in the JOURNAL, it is most imperative that leadership embark on this journey as well.  We cannot depend on the success of 1:1 to be only facilitated by teachers;  this is a journey facilitated by ALL.
