Best English lessons with one-to-one laptops

Friends,

We are exploring the possibility of a one-to-one laptop program at our
school. Part of that exploration involves educating ourselves about what
new and great things we might be able to do in our classrooms if all of
our students have laptops. In January, I will be making a presentation
to our upper school English department who are mostly skeptical about
the idea of one laptop per student. I want to show them some great
lessons that English teachers in other schools have done with a 1:1
program. These lessons could be for just plain laptops or for tablets.
If you know of a great lesson, could you send me a brief description?
If you send them to me off-list I will be happy to compile them into one
long list for anyone who is interested: moserp@sidwell.edu. Thanks so
much for your help!

Happy Holidays.
