=Project Goal and Questions=

The **primary goal** of the Maude Burke 1:1 Digital Literacy Project is to examine the impact new media literacy has on pedagogical approaches, authentic learning experiences and learning spaces to prepare students for life in the 21st century.

As a result of the primary goal, gathering data relating to the following **questions** is intended:


 * //Pedagogical Approaches//**:
 * 1) How is new media literacy incorporated into teaching?
 * 2) How does digital teaching influence curriculum, instruction and assessment?
 * 3) How is student independence, engagement, excitement about learning, quality of work and perception of school affected through new media literacy?
 * 4) How is parental classroom/school involvement and perception of school affected through the use of new media literacy?


 * //Authentic Learning://**
 * 1) What effect(s) does new media literacy have on student learning (average, gifted and high needs students)?
 * 2) How does authentic assessment look in a 1:1 computing environment?
 * 3) How does the learning environment change as a result of 1:1 computing? Unconditional Internet access?
 * 4) How does collaboration change through a 1:1 learning environment (student-student, student-teacher, parent-teacher, parent-student)?

//**Learning Space:**//
 * 1) How does the design and setup of physical learning space affect student learning?
 * 2) How does the design and setup of a 1:1 classroom's physical space affect teaching/facilitating?
 * 3) How does access to technology tools and resources (netbooks, digital camera, scanners, smartboard, flip videos, etc.) alter the learning environment?
 * 4) How does the flexible 1:1 learning environment evolve throughout the project?
 * 5) How does the learning environment change based on student needs and input?
 * 6) How can a 1:1 learning environment be designed to expand outside the classroom walls to include parents/guardians, collaborative group work and other resources?
