Using a South Los Angeles charter school of approximately 500 students operated by a non-proft charter management organization (CMO) as the primary field site, this two-year, ethnographic dissertation project examines the implementation of a one-to-one tablet computer program in a public high school. This poster examines the variety of ways that information and communication technology (ICT) functions in everyday life within the institution — including classroom instruction, school discipline, and evaluation — through qualitative methods, primarily class observations, photographs, and interviews with teachers, students, and administrators as the program evolved over two consecutive school years. This project contributes needed empirical context to questions of technological innovation in public education, providing the first-ever multi-year study of a one-to-one tablet computer program in a California public school.
