One-to-One Laptop Initiatives: Providing Tools for 21st Century Learners

Overview "One-to-one computing" describes an educational scenario in which every student, teacher, and staff member is provided with a portable laptop, notebook, or tablet PC for use both in the classroom and at home. Although many such programs are still in their infancy, one-to-one computing initiatives have already been shown to benefit K-12 students by:

Improving their learning environments
Encouraging greater communication between their parents and teachers
Developing their computer skills
Creating equal educational opportunities for economically disadvantaged students

This Center for Digital Education white paper, underwritten by Gateway, builds a strong case for the implementation of one-to-one computer initiatives in K-12 schools, and walks educators through the multitude of issues they should consider when determining the feasibility of one-to-one laptop programs for their schools.
