__About the One2One Bootcamp for Teachers__
**//"...the magic happens at one-to-one."//** - Dr. Seymour Papert, MIT to Maine Gov. Angus King, who started the first universal public school laptop program in the world.


 * One-to-one learning environments became reality in New Brunswick six years ago with the introduction of student laptop programs at six pilot schools, including Nashwaaksis Middle School in District 18. Since that time, the program has expanded to include 28 middle schools around the province.

Several districts have also supported smaller one-to-one and technology-rich environments at the local level, including School District 18, who have recently announced that the new Central New Brunswick Academy will open in the fall of 2010 as a one-to-one netbook school for grades 6 through 12.

With the growth of one-to-one and technology-rich learning environments, this event is focused on preparing existing and new teachers to manage the hardware on a daily basis, embed one-to-one technology into their classrooms and begin the shift towards a 21st Century model where teachers and students are co-learners.**


 * //The event is hosted by School District 18, but we extend an open invitation to other educators from around the province (and outside the province if you wish), especially those involved in 1:1 learning, to join us in the conversation.

Registration is FREE for everyone but out-of-town participants are responsible for their own accommodations and/or travel.//**
