One Computer Classroom

With extensive planning, a one-computer classroom can be an excellent tool for engaging students in teaching & learning. Categories for using one computer in a classroom include as an administrative tool, a presentation tool, a communication station, an information system, a publishing tool, a learning center, and a simulation center. Important considerations for a one computer classroom are placement of the hardware, software loaded for use, Internet accessibility, and classroom management.
