My kids go to Lab and the entire computer science department is on this list
in addition to Curt Lieneck who is the Director of Technology. I'm sure they
would be happy to talk to you about technology at the Laboratory Schools.
Two other schools come to mind when thinking about technology integration.
You might want to contact Judy Beaver at Punahou in Hawaii. She runs a
fabulous summer program where teachers work with experts to integrate
technology into their summer school classes, and thus have the opportunity
to practice new concepts outside of the regular school year. She's built a
ning social network for this. Judy is a great resource, and if she's an
example of the kind of people that work at Punahou, it must be an amazing
place.
The other school that I'm thinking of is St. George's Independent School in
Memphis, TN. Julene Reed is their technology director and she is another
amazing leader. Julene's forte is organizing global projects for St.
George's students. Most recently, she and a few students traveled to the
tundra to observe polar bears with scientists as part of a Polar Bears
International initiative. Julene used video conferencing to communicate with
audiences around the world:

Finally, if you're interested in connecting with other independent schools,
particularly ones that have 1 to 1 laptop programs, I highly recommend
iSummit, a small conference that's held every year by the Coalition for
Lighthouse Schools. I've attended and presented at this event for the past
two years, and I find it to be not as overwhelming as NECC/ISTE etc. Here is
the info for iSummit: http://www.lighthouseschools.com/isummit.html
Hope this helps,
Lucy
