- 1:1 indicates the ratio of items per user,i.e. one netbook per learner.
- 1:1 refers to the current trend oflow-cost computer devices , ranging from mobiles and handhelds to laptops or netbooks, have gained ground.

- How can 1:1 computing in educationchangeandimproveteaching and learningbothinside and outside of schools?
Why the Acer-EUN pilot? 5.
-
- Various educational contexts:
-
- Place: in school vs. out of school use
-
- Context: individual vs. collaborative use
-
- Purpose: educational vs. leisure use
Why Acer-EUN netbook pilot? (by Heeok Heo and Jeonghee Seo, NML study, 09) 6. What does the Acer-EUN pedagogical netbook pilot entail? image:a Spanish netbook student 7. Six countries participating 8.
- Pre-pilot: January to June 2010
-
- 10 classes per country = all in all 60 classes
-
- 5 teachers per class = 50 teachers per country=all in all 300 teachers involved
- Pilot: September 2010 to June 2011
-
- 40 classes per country = all in all 240 classes
-
- 5 teachers per class= 250 teachers per country=all in all 1200 teachers involved

- The use of 1:1 in education :
- highlights the fact that the learners have access to netbooks at all times
- takes advantage of blended learning approach alternating different activities,
- e.g. teacher-led vs. individual or collaborative activities, online or offline activities
Do netbooks require a different type of pedagogy ? 16. Variety of activities during a 1:1 lesson Frontal teaching Group Individual 17. Netbook, like ICT, is a means to learn! Frontal teaching Group Individual 18. Alternation of on-line & off-line activities Frontal teaching Group Individual on-line off-line on-line off-line on-line off-line 19. Useless to aim for 100% usage rate! 20.
- Help teachers orchestrate the learning situations with netbooks
- The interplay :
-
- between different activities
-
- between individual and social processes
- Short sequences alternating activities (e.g. sequencing different activities)
- Describe the organisationl conditions (material and tools, classroom setting, estimated time, evaluation)
- Step-by-step
- Suggestion rather than prescriptive
- Not subject-specific or detailed lesson plans

- General expectations regarding the use of netbooks in teaching and learning are extremely positive
Expectations regarding netbooks 27.
- Importantly, about 1/3 of teachers had not yet formed their opinion on these issues!
Expectations regarding netbooks 28. Added value for teaching 29. Differences: beginners and good users 30.
- Planning for different modes of netbook activities in France, Turkey and Spain
How do teachers plan to use netbooks? 31. Teachersfears- to some extent 32. Teachers fears - less so... 33. Reality of network availability 34. Storage of the netbooks 35. 36.
