Student Quotes about 1:1 from the survey below:

“It is easier to do homework because my brother and sister are always on it [my home computer]. I like having word and math because I do not have word on my computer at home. Also I don’t lose my math homework or math book.”

“I think that the 1:1 laptop program is a good idea because it helps student explore new things. I also agree that blocking websites is a good idea because the laptops are for academic purposes only.The websites are blocked because if you used a blocked website it wouldn’t be an academic use of your 1:1 laptop.”
