One Computer Classroom

Good teachers are concerned with their children's learning and plan with them in mind. In the One Computer Classroom, the teacher must plan to maximize the benefits of having that one computer in the classroom. It is better to have a loaf of bread than none at all.To maximize these benefits the teacher must use the computer in new ways. This would call for extensive planning on behalf of the teacher. In his planning, he has to decide where technology can be used to meet curriculum standards and related learning activities. Planning must ensure that each student is given adequate time on the computer while at the same time allowing other students to engage in useful activities during none computer time or time away from the computer.

I particularly like the fact that the one computer if used effectively can foster collaboration where students learn from each other and can apply co-operative problem solving skills to address challenges that may confront them form time to time. This type  of learning environment simulates real world learning.
