Abstract

During the last decade, increasingly more public and private actors, in both developed or developing countries, have supported initiatives 1:1 in education (a computer for each student). This initiatives represent a qualitative leap from the prior educative experiences with the information and communication technologies (TIC), because each child has access to a personal device, normally portable, mini laptops or mobile devices. The document tries to systematize the most outstanding evidence about such initiatives from the official web sites, program evaluations and academic meta-evaluations. Includes information about the expectations of these policies, the designs of the programs and the challenges for an effective implementation of the model 1:1. Due to the limited evidence available, the document emphasizes some doubts, without response, about effectiveness-cost and educational impacts that these programs have in education.
