Why do students need laptops and 24-hour access when most people have them at home?
Learning today is a 24-hour process. In schools where the 1:1 initiative is most successful, educators have come to appreciate the higher level thinking behind projects which involves the time, energy and depth of knowledge students use to produce evidence of learning. The confines of the traditional school day limit students. Most of the computer use will be off-line, and students will be allowed to download information from the web during the school day to access at home if they do not have personal Internet access outside of the school day.
