The document discusses the Puritans and Pilgrims who settled in America in the early 1600s. It describes how the Pilgrims were a group of English Protestants who fled to the Netherlands to freely practice their religion but later moved to America. In 1620, over 100 Pilgrims traveled on the Mayflower and founded the Plymouth colony, signing the Mayflower Compact to establish their own government. They had a difficult first winter and were aided by the Native American Squanto. The Pilgrim community emphasized family and women had more rights than in England.
17th Century
The Seventeenth Century in England was a period of civil unrest and religious strife under King Charles I, leading to the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. After the restoration of the monarchy, literature flourished, especially metaphysical poetry exemplified by John Donne. Metaphysical poetry focused on philosophical and religious issues through the use of paradoxes, irony, and elaborate conceits. It also featured Cavalier lyricists who composed lighthearted poetry in support of King Charles.
England in the 17th Century
1) In 1603, James VI of Scotland succeeded Queen Elizabeth I to the English throne, uniting the kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland under one ruler for the first time.
2) During the 17th century, England experienced religious and political turmoil that resulted in the English Civil War between the Royalists and Parliamentarians from 1642-1649.
3) The war ended in a Parliamentarian victory, with King Charles I being defeated and eventually executed in 1649, replacing the monarchy with the English Commonwealth headed by Oliver Cromwell.

The iPad as a 1:1 Computing Solution for the Classroom
- 1. The iPad as a 1:1 Computing Solution for the Classroom By: Roger Williams
- 2. 1:1 Computing on the Rise Teaching Without Wires Trickle Down Technology Conclusion
- 5. HOME 1:1 Computing Programs on the Rise with Netbooks Leading Adoption Personal Reflection: Although netbooks may appear to be a cheaper option to Apple’s iPad, the netbooks can have more technical and physical limitations than Apple products. An iPad that may cost two or three times more than a netbook, may last four to six times longer. Schools allowing students to use their own devices maybe providing the cheapest solution and the one that most resembles a college learning environment, may also be opening up a new digital divide for their students that cannot afford their own machine.
- 6. HOME Teaching Without Wires Brookline High School in Hollis, New Hampshire found it cheaper and easier on teachers and IT staff when they placed wireless internet access throughout it’s entire school.
- 8. HOME Teaching Without Wires Personal Reflection: With all new technology there is a growth curve to allow support of user needs. There are hundreds of iPad apps being added daily in the Apps Store. Teachers will eventually find the programs they need. The Pearson company recently added an app for their popular education program PowerSchool for both iPad and the Android operating systems. Storage capacity issues can be easily solved through the use of Google Apps that allows for virtually limitedless storage of emails, presentations, and word processing documents.
- 9. HOME Trickle Down Technology: Tech Lessons Learned From Higher Ed Universities are sometimes seen as technology laboratories for the educational system as a whole. But often what works well for colleges may not translate to the K-12 sector.
- 11. HOME Trickle Down Technology: Tech Lessons Learned From Higher ED Personal Reflection: I personally believe that K-12 school systems can be early adopters of technology and not waited to see what higher ed does before they act. It will require more thorough investigation on their part to do so, but it will eliminate a technology gap that some students might face when they enter college. At the very least they will be taking the literal weight off the shoulders of their students who lug fifty pound backpacks around their schools.
- 12. HOME Conclusion: If the proper consideration is put into place as a school system is planning for technology, they will find that the iPad or devices like it, can save the system money, greatly increase the odds that students will engage in the learning process, and be better prepared to enter the technology heavy world of higher learning.
