Getting the right answer & performing well on multiple choice tests

Figuring out the right questions & using skills to solve new problems

Working alone Working in teams

Learning within academic disciplines Working across disciplines

Memorizing fixed information Learning how to find, communicate & apply information in a ubiquitous information environment

Complying with hierarchal authority & avoiding risks Initiative and leadership in “flat” organizations & taking responsible risks

Adhering to external and inflexible time segments Managing time and commitments - prioritization and flexible time segments

Sitting passively in a linear, text-based environment Interacting in a multimedia, graphics-based environment

Working only from the left side of the brain Working with left and right sides of the brain together

world” and that Maine would become “the most technologically capable

society on earth.” The Maine Department of Education provided Apple 1

Maine middle school. Today, Apple 1 to 1 Learning Solutions are making

a difference for 36,000 7th and 8th grade students and teachers across

the state. Schools in urban, suburban, and rural areas, including students

from every socioeconomic background, are reporting that student

engagement and achievement are disciplinary problems are down.

Bradenton, Florida - Manatee School District

time doing homework (and showing their parents learn how to use the

iBooks). Ongoing “parent night” gatherings keep families and tcommunity
