1-to-1 Learning
Latest news
The Journal of Technology, Learning, and Assessment has published research indicating that participation in 1-to-1 programs was associated with:
The research, titled Educational Outcomes and Research from 1:1 Computing Settings, provides much-needed empirical evidence on the outcomes of 1-to-1 programs on learning and teaching.
Overview
1-to-1 programs are also known as 'anywhere, any time' or 'laptops for students' programs.
These programs provide students with personal portable computers to enhance opportunities for learning. The devices help schools engage the digital generation by nurturing individual (or 1-to-1) learning experiences.
Preparation the key to success
There are many steps schools need to take before launching 1-to-1 programs. Most of these steps involve detailed planning and preparation.
While primary and high schools need to understand the importance of planning to the success of 1-to-1 programs, high schools in particular must know. Doing so will help them prepare for the rollout of the Australian Government's Digital Education Revolution.
Benefits of 1-to-1 programs
1-to-1 programs are an element in an international move towards individualising learning, which can increase independence and self-initiated learning in students, and extend their learning beyond the classroom.
Students who have their own laptop computers have been found to take greater pride and ownership over the knowledge they create, with a flow-on to more flexible forms of schooling.
1-to-1 programs can extend formal learning communities to include parents, siblings and other people important in students' lives. Also, the programs may lead to initiating global communication and collaboration and develop creative expression.
Successfully implementing 1-to-1 programs
Successfully implementing a 1-to-1 program in any state school relies on an equal focus on:
The Department has developed four phases and 21 steps to the successful implementation of 1-to-1 programs.
These phases and steps are outlined in the Smart Classrooms Byte: 21 Steps to 21st Century 1-to-1 Success.
1-to-1 Learning: Leading the Way Practicums
If your school is considering a 1-to-1 program, then building the vision for and understanding what is involved in leading a technology-rich learning environment is a priority for your school.
These two-day practicums, led by Bob Rodgers and Adrian Greig, will enhance the knowledge of lead principals and ICT educational leaders to build a shared vision for their school in 1-to-1 learning. They can challenge leaders to create an essential blueprint for 1-to-1 learning in their school or district.
Secondary schools will be provided the latest information and advice relating to the Australian Government National Secondary Schools Computer Fund.
Browse the ICT Learning Innovation Centre calendar for advice about upcoming practicums.

Paul McMahonOf interest may be a look at the following site. EQ has done a range of research around the area of 1:1. It has recently released a 1:1 Smart Classrooms Byte on the topic which may help in some ways answer some of the issues on 1:1.
The website is:
http://education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms/strategy/dp/one-2-one.html
The downloadable PDF titled "Smart Classrooms Byte: 21 Steps to 21st Century 1-to-1 Success" is listed in the first line.
On the page is also some base information on the trials currently underway using some of the Ultra mobiles mentioned in this thread (i.e. eeePC, etc)
