Leslie Wilson Chief Executive Officer One-to-One Institute

Thank you for joining us at the 2nd Annual Great Lakes Computing Conference. We are excited to have so many great opportunities lined up for you. Whether learning from many of the leading experts in the 1:1 field, or top teacher-practitioners who will share with you how they make it happen day-to-day in their classrooms, the focus of our conference is to provide a meaning, hands-on experience.

On Thursday morning I have the distinct pleasure of kicking off the conference by sharing with you our exciting new findings from our Project RED research. The findings point to 9 "key implementation factors" that lead to greater academic success and cost saving in technology-rich schools. On Friday I will follow up the general session with a Q and A breakout session that is intended as a discussion with participants rather than a presentation. Here are the presentation slides I will be using in Thursday morning's general session.



I hope you will have the opportunity to take advantage of all the Great Lakes 1:1 Computing Conference has to offer. In addition to our keynote and breakout sessions, we also will have ongoing 1:1 readiness evaluations, discussion rooms with topics chosen by participants and even backchannel discussions on Todaysmeet.com with direct posts and a Twitter hashtag sync (#GL2010).

Enjoy the two days in Milwaukee and I look forward to meeting and talking with all of you.
