A Computer for Every Student

Paper Summary:

This paper presents a proposal claiming that the school's goal should be for every student to have a computer at school. The paper claims that the current supply of computers in grossly inadequate and suggests that to meet the immediate need, an additional computer lab should be equipped with 20 more desktop computers, as well as five more mobile carts with 20 laptops each. The paper contends that these recommendations will significantly improve student access to technology and be a substantial step toward the eventual goal of providing a computer to every student.

From the Paper:

"Access to technology is becoming increasingly more important to the educational process. Computers are not only necessary for teaching students about computing, but to provide access to the vast amount of useful information on the Internet. It is no longer enough for students to visit the school computer lab twice a week, or even once a day. Access to computers should be ubiquitous. The current school facilities, consisting of two computer labs with 20 Apple eMac desktop computers each, and two mobile carts with 16 Apple iBook laptops each are not adequate for the needs of the students. The eventual goal should be for every student to have a computer at school. To meet the immediate need, an additional computer lab should be added, with 20 more desktop computers, as well as five more mobile carts with 20 laptops each. "
