One-on-One computing is an opportunity for each child/student to have access to a computer while at school. Not all school systems can afford to provide this resource. According to my readings from my textbook, if this resource is provided, then one would have to consider other types of support. The support would include the following:
· Technical support
· Internet access
· Staff development for faculty and staff
· Software
· Hardware
One-on-One computing will be a less costly venture going forward. Having acknowledged the decrease in cost, will this access at any cost improve student learning outcomes? How would the determination be made with regard to the learning outcomes? Is the learning a result of the one-on one computing or is it a result of access to the computer? How will we evaluate the contributing factors in a measurable way? I seem to have more questions than answers.
