Abstract | Since 1990 the author has designed and led staff development activities for 12 Australian schools in which every child is asked to own a notebook computer. Workshops are designed to inspire teachers to lead each other in the transition from traditional methodology to universal personal computing. This paper provides a case study of a school in Melbourne (Australia) which embarked on such a transition in 1989, where the computer became an intellectual laboratory and vehicle for self-expression. Staff development strategies which have attempted to bolster teacher confidence and accommodate individual teacher learning styles are: in-classroom collaborations among teachers; 3-day "slumber parties" featuring extended periods of project brainstorming; and building a book on the personal computer. General suggestions for success in similar situations are listed, including off-site institutes and in-school sabbaticals. (Contains 10 references.) (Author/BEW) |
