"For some educators, it's the ed-tech equivalent of nirvana: every child having access to his or her own computing device in the classroom. 1-to-1 computing is the natural next step in the progression of educational technology, and some ed-tech advocates believe that giving each student access to his or her own machine might fully unlock the potential for technology in education--finally making possible the kinds of radical transformations in teaching and learning that have been predicted since the dawn of the Apple IIe.
The problem is, 1-to-1 computing is expensive. It requires a huge investment in time and resources to roll out computers for every student, keep the machines up and running, train teachers how to use them as instructional tools, make sure students are using them safely and appropriately ... and so on."
