About half way through researching 1:1 programs at smaller districts in Iowa, I found Live Binder (see diigo link). This is my binder of the information I've found so far. It's really easy to use and the end result organizes information better than a document. Binders can be shared so people can see them, but you can also collaborate on a binder.

This is such a great idea. JKies thank you for sharing. I'm not naturally organized but I'm always looking for ways to organize resources and make it all make sense! This is a great.

There are now a large number of initiatives designed to make laptops with wireless connectivity available to all students in schools. This paper synthesizes findings from research and evaluation studies that analyzed implementation and effects of one-to-one initiatives from a range of countries. Factors related to successful implementation reported in the research include extensive teacher professional development, access to technical support, and positive teacher attitudes toward student technology use. Outcome studies with rigorous designs are few, but those studies that did measure outcomes consistently reported positive effects on technology use, technology literacy, and writing skills.
