One-to-One Laptop Programs in Latin America and the Caribbean: Panorama and Perspectives
Severin, Eugenio Eduardo; Capota, Christine A.- Apr, 2011
The introduction of technology in education is gaining momentum worldwide. One model of incorporating technology into education that has gained tremendous traction in Latin America and the Caribbean is One-to-One computing. The term “One-to-One” refers to the ratio of digital devices per child so that each child is provided with a digital device, most often a laptop, to facilitate learning. The objective of this document is to provide an overview of One-to-One implementations with a regional focus on Latin America and the Caribbean. It also proposes a systemic approach to improve the quality of education in contexts of mass laptop distributions to students and teachers.
Plan Ceibal in Uruguay
Plan CEIBAL (Educational Connectivity of Basic Computing for Online Learning) was implemented in Uruguay within the framework of the Access to Digital Information Equity Plan. It fulfilled its first goal of distributing laptops to all of the students and teachers in Uruguayan public primary schools within a term of two years, and began to project itself towards the basic cycle of middle education. In order to achieve the effective integration of children and teenagers into the information and knowledge society, they should all have equal opportunities as regards access, not only to information and communications, but also to new learning environments, in keeping with the technological context of modern society.
