1:1 Computing Programs on the Rise with Netbooks Leading Adoption
Posted by: Susan Einhorn
 
iPads and netbooks are beginning to make significant inroads into K-12 education. According to the results of an ed tech survey released Monday by the National School Boards Association, 16 percent of schools that have 1:1 computing initiatives are incorporating iPads into their programs, while more than twice that number--35 percent--indicated they're incorporating netbooks into the mix.

The survey indicated that, overall, 37 percent of districts have already launched 1:1 computing initiatives in their schools. In addition to iPads and netbooks, 28 percent said they're incorporating traditional laptops in their programs. A fairly surprising 22 percent indicated they're "leveraging students' personal devices by allowing them to access the school network, a trend that is likely to increase in the years to come," according to NSBA.
