Ultimately, going 1:1 is about fostering a culture of trust and innovation, and this doesn't happen overnight-you need a strong plan. Andy Marcinek helps leaders get started with a 1:1 implementation, and teaches us how to prepare the entire school community for digital citizenship. With this book, you'll be ready for success! -- Salome Thomas-EL, Award-winning Principal and Author of The Immortality of Influence This book is indeed a 'roadmap' for successful 1:1 implementation, complete with a wealth of practical resources and examples. Even if you end up making some different choices about your 1:1 program, the chapters will help you think through the necessary decisions at every stage of the process. -- Scott McLeod, Director of Innovation, Prairie Lakes AEA This book is the definitive text for schools looking to arm all students and staff with devices. It clearly identifies and explains ways in which school culture can be cultivated to use the technology in order to positively impact the learning and teaching. Practical advice that is sound and easy to follow - a must for school leaders implementing a 1:1 program. -- Adam Bellow, Founder & Corwin Author, Untangling the Web Marcinek has written the essential roadmap for schools and districts that either already are 1:1 or are considering a move to it. The book contains powerful examples and ideas about how to make that transition both practically and pedagogically. As the principal of a school that has been 1:1 since 2006, I still found myself taking notes and thinking about how Andrew's ideas would make us better. -- Chris Lehmann, Founding Principal Marcinek has captured in his text what 1:1 is and all a school needs to get started, and his emphasis on creating a successful 1:1 environment is felt throughout. With a strong focus on technology, but more importantly, a stronger focus on learning, Andrew lays out a simple, yet effective methodology that any educator can follow. -- Steven Anderson, Educational Consultant and Corwin Author, The Relevant Educator With the proliferation of technology in education, districts quite often go all-in without a shared vision and strategic plan primed for success. Marcinek provides a desperately needed resource based on practical experience that will help districts effectively and properly implement 1:1 initiatives. -- Eric Sheninger, Principal and Corwin Author, Digital Leadership

Author Information

Andrew Marcinek has experience in combining technology and education spanning several years inside and outside of the classroom. Most recently he assumed the duties of Director of Technology at Grafton Public Schools. Prior to that, he served as the Director of Technology for Groton-Dunstable Regional School District and Instructional Technology Specialist at Burlington High School. Previously, he spent seven years as a secondary English teacher and college professor in Pennsylvania. At Burlington, he played a major role in launching a 1:1 iPad environment, organizing the iPad deployment and leading several educational technology professional development events in Burlington and Groton-Dunstable Regional School District. Beyond professional development and the iPad launch at Burlington High School, Andrew has designed and created a digital and information literacy course that focuses on web 2.0 applications, Google Apps for Education, information literacy, and digital citizenship. Similarly, he created, designed, and developed the 1:1 high school student genius bar or “help desk” that provides technology support for students and staff. At Groton-Dunstable Regional School District, Andrew was in charge of a $562,000 grant for technology. In that time, he created a strategic plan that provided a sustainable education technology environment that immediately impacted teaching and learning. Along with the tech team, he transitioned staff and students to Google Apps for Education, provided professional development for the entire staff, launched and managed 700 Google Chromebooks, presented weekly optional after-school professional development for staff, refreshed faculty laptops by providing choice between Mac and PC, and upgraded our network infrastructure to provide robust, wireless access in all six school buildings. Outside the classroom, Andrew organized four Edcamps and presented at various conferences around the country. Similarly, he developed community tech nights for both Burlington Public Schools and Groton-Dunstable Regional School District communities. This was a monthly event in the evening that provided a focused EdTech subject and workshop opportunities for anyone in the community. Andrew regularly blogs for Edutopia and consults with school districts on technology initiatives through his company, EducatorU.org.
