  • Technology Connection: 1-to-1 Laptop Initiative--Leveling the Playing Field Stidham, Sue Educational Technology Individualized Instruction Laptop Computers Computer Uses in Education Technology Uses in Education Accountability Professional Development Imagine a school where every student has global wireless access and a visa to high tech, personalized instruction. Enter Baxter Springs, Kansas, where all the teachers and their students have individual laptops in a 24/7 environment. Such 1-to-1 initiatives actually meet the expectations of the digital generation and these students aren't forced to "dumb down" when they enter school. However, the 1-to-1 laptop initiative is far more complicated than simply the placement of one laptop in the hands of each student and teacher. One-to-one learning involves a strong commitment of school and community. As a result of Baxter Springs's investment, their students have crossed far beyond the borders of Kansas, while preparing for their 21st century jobs. This article demonstrates what effort is required to successfully implement a 1-to-1 project.
