• 1:1 indicates the ratio of items per user,
i.e. one netbook per learner.
• 1:1 refers to the current trend of low-cost computer devices, ranging from
mobiles and handhelds to laptops or netbooks, have gained ground.
• Typically the devise is connected to the internet and owned by the learner.
• One-to-one (1:1) computing is a new phenomena in educational settings!
What is 1:1 computing in education?

• How can 1:1 computing in education change and improve teaching
and learning both inside and outside of schools?
To study the use of netbooks
by teachers and pupils
in an educational context
within their own curriculum
throughout the school year
Why the Acer-EUN pilot?
![Page 11: Netbooks in schools: Acer-EUN experiences](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062615/547f13c8b4af9ffa398b46a6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Each participating school has a “netbook team”:
3-4 teachers, ICT coordinator and school head
• The netbook team collaboratively plans the use of
netbooks
• Place:
in school vs. out of school use
• Context:
individual vs. collaborative use
• Purpose:
educational vs. leisure use
What is expected from the schools?
