Implementing One to One

One to One Technology is a very ambiguous concept and is vexing to schools everywhere. Any discussion of the concept usually turns towards device-centric questions and the many pitfalls for implementation. Such pitfalls include adapting goals towards the capabilities of given hardware solution instead of finding the correct hardware solution to meet the goals of the project.

The district in which I am working has been making steady progress towards a very customized one to one plan. It is key to realize from the beginning that one size does not fit all.  Even inside the district, we are evaluating different tools for each building. The goal is to tailor to the exact needs of the staff and students.

The one constant in this type of project is the need for good planning and infrastructure to be in place to handle the increased network load. Such considerations include wireless density, switch speeds, bandwidth, and ensuring you have enough support personnel. One thing is for sure – the implementation of a one to one initiative changes everything from a traditional school IT mindset.
