No! On the contrary, teachers have harnessed their school’s 1:1 initiative as an opportunity support
cooperative and collaborative learning initiatives.

Within this model, students work in groups over several
weeks to complete a themed-based project.
Although the students work in groups, they use their
individual laptops or tablets to complete a range of
activities related to their projects.
Teachers function as learning facilitators and guides.
Through this process, students learn subject-matter
content, and at the same time, practice problem-solving,
social communication, and presentation skills.

A successful collaborative classroom in a 1:1 world can be a challenge, but
with careful planning, effective technology integration training, and
collaboration among like-minded teachers, it can be accomplished.
