Navigating the 1:1 initiative.

More and more schools across the country are becoming successful with 1:1 learning, which inturn puts increasing pressure on other schools to either ramp up their 1:1 solution or move to 1:1 learning if they haven't already. In order to implement a successful 1:1 solution, school districts will need to begin planning well in advance as there is a lot to consider. Chief among them is choosing the right IT partner to help you navigate the waters, followed closely by choosing the right hardware.

As technology evolves, so do the computer options. These days the hardware race is a tight one comprised mostly of Apple and Chromebooks, though there are a few dark horses still in the race.
