One-to-One Educational Computing: Ten Lessons for Successful Implementation

Abstract

This chapter presents lessons learned from a review of literature on one-to-one computing and interviews with 14 pioneers in one-to-one educa- tional computing (Peck and Sprenger, 2007). If we learn from the experience of pioneers in one-to-one computing we can increase the probability of successful implementation and new educational opportunities (Livingston, 2006). If, instead, we ignore these lessons, we will repeat the expensive failures of other naïve innovators (Cuban, 2001; Hu, 2007).
