This looks like it may interest some people......me personally, I query the point of designing a 'mobile' touch device then turning it 'immobile' and adding a keyboard. I do agree with their statement re the Bluetooth and the issue for teachers in the classroom, I have just gone through the Junior classrooms in the school I am based in and replaced all the wireless mice and keyboards for this very reason.

Great Insight to the 1:1 plan and how educators can jump on board. 
Brad Ovenell-Carter's curator insight,
May 21, 1:29 PM
I apprecaite the diffficulties in implementing a 1:1 program, especially where none has existed before. But we need to see a 1:1 as merely a first step toward an multi-devices model.
The problem with 1:1 programs is that the focus on a single, common device or a single type of device. e.g. a laptop, in a BYOD environment. That notion is inherently restrictive. And it's not sustainable: a healthy ecosystem--and we should think of schools as learning ecosystems--is heterogenous; the more homogenous it is the more vulnerable it is.
Our users--our students--need to be able to connect with whatever device they happen to have at the moment be it a laptop, tablet or smartphone. We can start with the idea of 1:1 so long as we remember it is not the end goal. We need to make sure whatever structures we put in place to support a 1:1 model easily scales up to support multiple devices...the ∞:1 program.

I wish when I was in high school I was more encouraged to learn math, science and computer science. And more girls are needed in this field.
Jenn Alevy's curator insight,
May 14, 11:04 PM
For some reason computer programing as a career seemed to take a back seat to other math/science/computer careers, esp.during the late 90s. Now it is time to get back to that, a million programers needed in the next 10 years is a great opportunity for many kids, I hope they do more to target more girls, not just boys.

"Frog Dissection for iPad is an app that is popular with biology teachers. The latest version of the app includes more labels, quizzes, and videos. Of course, the main purpose of the app still remains. That purpose is to provide a virtual environment in which students can dissect a frog just as they would if they had a frog and a scalpel in your classroom. The app provides step-by-step directions for students to follow as they virtually dissect their frogs." Via John Evans

We divided the infographic in separate sections to explain in more detail how brain science behind learning supports the concept of Personalized Learning. When you review this and understand that each brain is unique and changes as it learns, personalizing learning makes sense.
Thank you to Christine Hinton, Ed.D. and Jobs for the Future for this infographic.

"How do you learn best? For me, it depends on what I am learning. Sometimes I need to take notes, other times I need to think out loud.

This video is a classic cultural production that is filled with unintented comedy for today's youth (and adults--I laughed plenty). It does chronicle the some of the popular culture interactions among youth in that day and dating practices. It also is a normative production designed to show how things should be within society. This normative element of earlier TV products (like Leave it to Beaver and Father knows Best) means that they aren't prefect reflections of the society that produced them, but represent an idealized form that many believed should be the aspirational goals of society.
