Excellent project. I especially liked slide 5 of your presentation... http://www.pennmanor.net/techblog/1to1devices/#/5 http://www.pennmanor.net/techblog/1to1d

  Thanks! The project launched last year with the High School, and this coming school year we will be expanding to the Middle Schools. It was genuinely exciting to see the students helping their peers. It's almost all stock Ubuntu, Google Apps for Education, and a few other tools thrown in. We aim for Open Source where we can.

    By 'materials' I meant what the (entirely mythical) Mrs Scroggins uses with class 3P at 10:30 am on Tuesdays when they are learning to solve one degree linear equations. I'd imagine that Mrs Scroggins continues to use her trusty textbooks for routine skills development, perhaps with a few Khan academy resources, some mathpapa demos and, perhaps, a group exercise where students work together in Google Apps to document their steps in solving some bobbydazzlers.

      Ah- I misunderstood. I do not frequent the High School (I'm stationed at the Middle School levels), but from what I understand it's pretty much exactly as you've described. The traditional books are used, but then supplemented with at-your-own-pace videos and online activities and projects.
