Just a reminder about upcoming Anytime Anywhere Learning Foundation  
online institutes and professional development courses designed to  
help plan, implement and build your 1-to-1 program. If you've already

21 STEPS TO 21st CENTURY LEARNING ONLINE INSTITUTE SERIES
The 21 Steps to 21st Century Learning Online Institute Series, based  
on the experiences of thousands of laptop schools around the world,  
consists of two separate institutes:

1.    The 21 Steps to 21st Century Learning Online Institute - Planning
2.    The 21 Steps to 21st Century Learning Online Institute –  
Implementation

Each institute runs for five 1-hour sessions (1-hour per week for 5  
consecutive weeks). Institute leader Bruce Dixon, international  
pioneer of 1-to-1 learning and president of the Anytime Anywhere  
Learning Foundation, will take you through the steps you should follow  
to successfully plan and then implement a student laptop program  
tailored to your vision and your school's needs. In addition to the  
weekly one-hour course sessions, one hour optional Conversations &  
Questions sessions will be held each week to answer any questions and  
discuss ideas raised during the weekly course session.

21 Steps to 21st Century Leaning Online Institute - Planning
