1:1 Laptop Meta-Analysis

Michigan State University examined 15 years of 1:1 laptop studies, and found that these initiatives boost student scores. Among the findings are: a 1:1 laptop environment often leads to more frequent and broader tech us, usually for writing processes. 1:1 laptop deployment sometimes increases student-centered, project-based learning. When all students have laptops, student motivation, engagement,  persistence, and problem-solving skills increase. It is uncertain whether 1:1 laptop programs overcome inequities.
