The Henrico County Public School District was the first to equip all middle and high school students, all teachers, and administrative staff members with wireless laptop computers. It selected Dell as the exclusive provider of computers for a four-year program that equipped every district high school student and teacher with a notebook computer.

As a result of the initiative, teaching has become more active and individualized. Students are better organized and more engaged in their learning. They graduate better prepared to become 21st century citizens and critical thinkers. “You can’t think critically if all you do is take in information from a textbook,” says Aaron Spence, Ph.D., Principal of Deep Run High School. In this white paper, Henrico County Public Schools shares key learnings from a one-to-one computing experience, with a focus on the high school level. This paper follows the framework outlined by Blueprint Solutions for K-12 One-to- One Computing Initiatives, which identifies essential components of successful one-to-one computing: leadership, funding, infrastructure, professional development, curriculum, and results.
