With all the benefits of using technology in the classroom, it is no wonder that it can be considered the future of education. Schools across the country are making a big push to get technology into the hands of their students. Having computers or tablets for every single learner so that they can access digital media and online content to enhance the learning process is referred to as 1:1 computing. The prevalence of 1:1 computing in classrooms around the U. S. is rising every year. Schools are hoping to increase student achievement and build 21st-century skills at the same time. A report from Front Row Education shows that more than 50% of teachers now have a 1:1 student-to-device ratio (EdTech Staff, 2017.) The goal is that the increased technology in the classroom will assist teachers in creating the more personalized learner experience we discussed earlier in this chapter. Students will be able to access content tailored to their instructional level while having the resources needed to complete complex and rigorous assignments. Ideally, student-centered, project-based learning would increase without sacrificing the individual attention the teacher can provide.
