I’m lucky enough to spend Tuesdays to Thursdays working with an amazing group of students and faculty at The Westside School in Seattle. For 15 months now we’ve been growing a new middle school, and a 1:1 initiative is part of that model.
We are in a constant cycle of evaluation as we seek to understand the impacts of mobile learning, standards-based assessment, and mixed-age groupings on student academic achievement and character development.
Below are some edtech-focused numbers based on the first 3 months of this school year:
Interesting! Our school has been talking about going to e-books. We are an IB school and admin isn’t exactly sure where to start looking for textbooks. What e-textbooks are you using school-wide? Thank you!

Almost all of our eTextbooks are self created (iBooks Author) or open (http://www.ck12.org/teacher). Our math teacher uses a big publisher, and they send a pdf of the original printed publication.
Best of luck,
