Abstract
As technology use in education increases, interest in and implementations of ubiquitous computing initiatives have also increased. One-to-one laptop initiatives have sprung up throughout North America at the school, district, and state or province levels. This paper is an attempt to synthesize available studies of one-to-one initiatives at the K-12 level using both quantitative and narrative techniques. It is hoped that by so doing, best practices of these types of implementations can be identified.
