Students live in an on-demand, technology-dependent world. They learn differently and approach schoolwork differently than students did even a few years ago. This impacts learning, and some school districts are addressing students’ need to get answers instantly, to communicate as they learn, and to create information and share it with others. With 1:1 computing and wireless Internet access, students are able to learn in an environment where technology brings subjects to life and where students can own their learning environment and are so engaged that learning is meaningful. Establishing this new environment for such learning takes careful planning and consideration.

The goal of this guidebook is provide useful advice, best practices and practical strategies in ten key areas:

1. Technology Decisions and 1:1 Computing
