The mission of One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is to empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child. In order to accomplish our goal, we need people who believe in what we’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a priority, not a privilege.

Measuring the success of a 1:1 Scheme
http://www.techlearning.com/blog/2007/10/measures_for_success.php
Measuring success of 1:1 Scheme
David Warlick's blog Measures for Success talks about the evidence from one school district with a laptop program that knows how to measure the results.
Rather than charting test score increases, this district looks at the number of graduating high school students who are going to college. Prior to their 1:1 initiative, only 26% of students continued their education after high school. On the last day of school, in 2006, 79% of graduating seniors had already been accepted at post secondary institutions. In 2007, it rose to 84%
Mazingo stresses that it is not the laptops that has caused this change, but its the change in education culture that comes from being connected, from teachers who must become master learners ....

The Laptop Institute (conference)
http://www.laptopinstitute.com
The Laptop Institute (July 13-15, 2008) is an international think tank for schools using or considering laptops or tablets as tools for learning. Created and hosted by Lausanne Collegiate School in Memphis, Tennessee, the Laptop Institute offers over 80 breakout sessions – from hands-on events to lectures, discussions and networking. Conference sessions meet the needs of educators, technology integrationists, technology support personnel and administration. In 2006, over 460 attendees from 36 states and 8 countries attended. Over half those attending are K-12 teachers who collaborate with peers and learn tips for using laptops and tablets in their own classrooms.

Selling the Dream of 1:1 Computing
A Leadership Primer
Schools around the world are at long-last embracing the implementation of 1:1 computing. However, many of the best intentions are stymied by a lack of leadership, narrow vision and an inability to communicate ambitious goals that justify the investment to cautious stakeholders.
The following is a series of answers often provided to support 1:1 computing and suggestions for how the same leader might inspire the hearts and minds of teachers, parents and community members.

Gary's Tips for Selling 1:1 Computing in your District
http://districtadministration.ccsct.com//page.cfm?p=1278
Gary's Tips for Selling 1:1 Computing in your District
Forty years ago Seymour Papert began talking about a computer for every learner. In 1968, Alan Kay sketched the first personal computer as a tool for children. In 1989, Steve Costa began teaching entire classes of fifth grade girls each equipped with a laptop. In 1994, Cobb County Congressman Newt Gingrich advocated a laptop per student. Nearly a decade ago hundreds of kids at Harlem's Mott Hall schools began taking laptops to and from school. Several years ago Maine passed a law providing a laptop for every 7th and 8th grader. Books like Bob Johnstone's exhaustive history, "Never Mind the Laptops," have been published and countless research studies have been concluded.

Laptops and Learning Resources
"Gary Stager is one of the true pioneers of the 1:1 laptop movement. His work in this area includes looking beyond the laptops to their effective application by students as true tools for learning. Rather than seeing 1:1 computing as a vehicle for replicating older educational models, Gary sees it as a chance to transform educational practice in ways that truly prepare young people for lifelong learning."

Twenty Things to Do With a Computer (Laptop?)
Contemporary discussions of educational technology seem consumed with data management, total cost of ownership, testing and everything but student learning. It may be worth taking some time to reflect on our current practice and think about what's possible. Are we doing all we can to use computers to empower students and change classroom practice?

Affording 1:1
Many large-scale initiatives are in the position of having to request funding every few years, which can be a real nail-biter. The sooner you can fold all your laptop or tablet funding into yearly capital expenditures the better. Michigan, Maine, and West Virginia have all been in the position of renegotiating funding after their initial outlays, and so far all three have successfully continued their programs.

The 411 on One-to-One Computing

The 411 on One-to-One Computing
One-to-one computing is happening now! In K-12 classrooms across the United States, laptops, handhelds, and tablet PCs are replacing pens and pencils as the accepted "tools of the trade" for students. You already might teach in a classroom that provides a computer device for each student's use. If you don't yet, however, with K-12 technology use predicted to continue to rise in the years ahead, the trend toward one-to-one computing is sure to impact your classroom in the not-so-distant future.

The goals of a global one-to-one laptop program go beyond learning.
We are targeting the full span of age groups, six to sixteen. The most benefit will be for those in remote and rural areas. We have designed the machine to run on human power, for example. Likewise, in places without telephony, we have the means for children to connect to the Internet for less than $1 per month.

This is the wiki for the One Laptop per Child association. The mission of this non-profit association is to develop a low-cost laptop—the "$100 Laptop"—a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world's children. Our goal is to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves.
Why do children in developing nations need laptops? Laptops are both a window and a tool: a window into the world and a tool with which to think. They are a wonderful way for all children to learn learning through independent interaction and exploration.

Tips to Manage a 1:1 Learning Initiative
http://www.techlearning.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=188100258
Tips to Manage a 1:1 Learning Initiative
Schools all across the country (USA) are flocking to the concept of 1:1 learning, which is the concept of one laptop for every student and teacher in the school.
While the benefits and success stories of a 1:1 learning initiative have been well published, there has been little information published about the implementation strategies used by technical coordinators in these initiatives.
However, there are several key areas for a successful implementation of a 1:1 learning initiative, including having a solid network infrastructure, properly configuring and managing the laptops, tracking laptop inventory, and having an excellent laptop Help Desk.

Learning with the $100 Laptop
http://www.g1to1.org/openletter.php
Learning with the $100 Laptop
The vision of 1:1 computing is timely, but it needs caution and careful strategy. A pattern continually emerges as we examine previous large investments in technology for learning and communication. Successful transformations emerge when cultural practices of thinking, learning and interacting co-evolve with developments in technologies, establishing a 'virtuous cycle'. A good example of this co-evolution is the phenomenal growth of phone text messaging. Originally developed as a means of passing test messages among engineers, it was introduced on early cellphones as an afterthought. As young people began to buy phones they used text messaging both as a way to save money and to organize their social lives. Phone companies introduced new models and tariffs that made text messaging easier, and so texting blossomed ....

1 to 1 Learning : Review and Analysis

1 to 1 Learning : Review and Analysis by the Metiri Group
By definition, 1 to 1 learning involves one student, one computer, one interactive, personalized learning experience in a wireless environment with anytime access to the Internet.
The reality is that 1 to 1 configurations in schools range from laptops checked out to all students 24/7 (24 hours per day, 7 days per week), to classrooms of students using wireless laptops available from mobile carts only during the school day. The most powerful
learning from 1 to 1 is realized in the 24/7 confi guration, guided by highly qualifi ed teachers and informed parents/guardians.
