One-to-one learning means putting a computer ( a PC, laptop, tablet pc) into the hands of every students so that they can work independently whether in the classroom or at home.
Using this practice, students tend to be highly engaged in their lessons as they work in teams, access and submit assignments and carry out research which leads to more participation in class.
It also enables the teacher to use a variety of techniques to teach the content of their subject area and the teacher is also able to keep abreast of each students' progress through online assessment tools as s/he integrates online content and learning resources into the curriculum as they expand learning beyond the classroom.
However, it has its down side. Students in a one-to-one learning environment can become distracted from learning and focus on other aspects of using the computer such as playing games, visiting social media sites, surfing the internet and watching and downloading videos.
It is imperative that teachers instill in students that they must use the tool effectively and appropriately for the enhancement of their learning.
