#C4C15: 1:25 iPad Classroom – A Creative Model | Dukelyer

Sometimes the right ratio of devices to kids is 1:25. And when done well, it can still be pretty transformational for the learning environment.

I really like the way in which you have framed the usage of a single device in the classroom. It isn’t about doing everything with it that you would do within a 1:1 environment, but rather it is about using it strategically and going further because of the constraint.

In particular, I LOVE the concept of Gorilla Blogging. The idea that students are capturing things from your classroom and sharing them to a single place. It reminds me of the “Scribe Posts” that a good number of math teachers were doing around 2006, but with a greater emphasis on students choosing what they want to write about. Just by giving a kid a device and telling them to capture their learning, you have empowered them to make something that wasn’t possible before. I would love to see blogs (or other types of social media) dedicated simply to students showing off the heavy thinking and great ideas from their own projects.

  1. Thank you Ben for firstly pulling up that post, then writing such a well thought out comment about it. I am please to say that after reading that post, that is now several years old, it still rings true to my pedagogy and thinking.
    C4C15 looks like an excellent concept and I I am looking forward to reading over your posts for the last 3 months and following the rest of the journey. A blog post is often a reflective tool or a sharing tool, but I believe that the simple act of commenting on a post that you have read, sharing how it affected you or what it made you think about, takes any blog post to another level.
    Enjoy the rest of your day 🙂
