One-to-One Laptop Programs: What does the research show?

Research shows that schools with one-to-one laptops programs often see the following positive results:

Learning environments are transformed - Educators involved in laptop programs overwhelmingly promote collaborative learning and at the same time provide individualized instruction.

Students are highly engaged - Like teachers, students also show improved technology skills and sophistication.

Productivity increases - Students develop better organizational skills because they now need them to keep track of what's on their computer and to accomplish complex project work in a timely manner.

Attitudes toward writing improve - In a recent survey measuring students' attitudes about writing, 76 percent of students said they enjoy writing more on the laptops than on paper; 80 percent indicated the laptops make it easier to rewrite and revise their writing; and 73 percent said they earn better grades for laptop work.
