This book takes a serious historical and international look at the
digital pencil movement to equip every student with a computing
device with wireless connection. Using an ecological perspective as
an overarching framework, and drawing on their own studies and
available literature that illuminate the issues related to
one-to-one computing, the authors present well-reasoned discussions
about a set of complex and critical issue facing policy makers,
educators, students, parents, and the general public. The Digital
Pencil addresses four key questions: Is the digital pencil a good
idea? The authors analyze the costs and benefits of one-to-one
computing programs through consideration of multiple indicators and
examine the evaluation reports of various projects within their
analytical framework to present a comprehensive summary of outcomes
of one-to-one computing projects. What happens when each child has
a networked computer? The authors analyze existing data with the
goal of gaining insights and making suggestions and recommendations
for policy makers, teachers, and parents. What should schools
purchase or lease is there an ideal device? These authors examine
the relative advantages and disadvantages of different devices and
implementation schemes. How do we know if one-to-one computing is
making a difference? The authors review the evaluation plans of the
various projects and propose a framework for comprehensive
evaluation and research on one-to-one computing. This book is
intended for researchers, school administrators, educational
technology professionals, and policy makers in the U.S. and around
the world, and as a supplemental text for advanced courses in
education, technology, and technological innovation.
