It's been about 10 years since Maine implemented its initiative, and while at least 33 states had experimented with one-to-one computing projects by 2007, none have reached the scope of Maine's project. As jobs and life increasingly involve computers, it's clear that in order to remain relevant to students, schools will need to adopt more technology.

Handing over responsibility to the learner happens gradually, not all at once. Good projects -- like real-life challenges -- also teach us about persistence. Figuring out what to do if you encounter challenges is part of the learning experience.
