In the first year of North Carolina's 1:1 Learning Initiative, which provided laptops to students and teachers in 8 schools, the schools made progress implementing critical components of an effective 1:1 computing environment. These included providing teachers with professional development, establishing necessary infrastructure, policies and staff, and engaging parents. However, implementation timelines differed between the traditional high school, which was better prepared, and Early College High Schools, which faced more challenges preparing within a compressed timeline. Lessons learned indicate the importance of extensive preparation and groundwork before distributing laptops to ensure successful integration of technology to support teaching and learning.
In this poem, spring has arrived and the world is full of mud and puddles. The balloon man whistles in the distance, calling children to come out and play. Eddie, Bill, Betty and Isbel come running from their games to enjoy the wonders of springtime.

In this poem, spring has arrived and the world is full of mud and puddles. The balloon man whistles in the distance, calling children to come out and play. Eddie, Bill, Betty and Isbel come running from their games to enjoy the wonders of springtime.
The poem describes a balloon man who whistles as spring arrives. When the world becomes "mudluscious" and "puddle-wonderful", the "queer old balloon man" calls out far and wee, bringing children running from their games to dance and play.
This document provides a mid-year evaluation report on the progress of North Carolina's 1:1 Learning Technology Initiative during the second year of implementation. It finds that the eight pilot schools have made significant progress, including improving wireless internet access and technical support. However, it also notes ongoing challenges around content filtering and the need for continued professional development for teachers. Key findings include that teachers are using laptops more frequently but want more models for effectively integrating technology. Infrastructure issues like limited network bandwidth and lack of loaner laptops when devices break need addressing. Overall the initiative is enhancing learning opportunities, but also complicates classroom management initially.
- The report evaluates the progress of North Carolina's 1:1 Learning Technology Initiative in its second year across eight pilot schools with approximately 2,300 students and 200 teachers.
- Significant progress has been made implementing the 1:1 environment including improving school infrastructure and support, developing policies and procedures, engaging in professional development, and changing instructional practices to incorporate more technology use.
- Key lessons learned include the need for ongoing professional development, balancing student safety and access to resources, developing classroom management strategies, providing skilled technology support, and engaging stakeholders to support sustainability.
This study evaluated North Carolina's 1:1 Learning Initiative pilot program across eight high schools. Initial findings from the first year found that preparing the technology infrastructure and providing teacher training took longer than expected. Key challenges included inadequate wireless connectivity in some areas, limited storage space on servers, and short battery life. Professional development for teachers focused on integrating technology into lessons. Having a dedicated technology facilitator at each school supported teachers' technology needs. Overall, successful implementation of 1:1 programs requires extensive planning, infrastructure development, teacher training, and technical support.
