We use <a href="http://studentresponsenetwork.com" target="_blank">http://studentresponsenetwork.com</a> to provide virtual clicker software for our wireless netbooks. It's used sparingly throughout a day, but it's used everyday and student participation has gone through the roof. We started halfway through the school year and are about to start our first full year with it. If you want to see 1:1 make a real difference, give it a go.

In groups of such a size, children readily exchange ideas and knowledge about the topic they are investigating, as well as the computer itself. However, I think it would be difficult to develop some more detailed and higher level ICT skills without 1:1 - for instance learning programming languages or video editing, may be easier with a 1:1 ratio, combined with instant messaging / face to face discussion with peers to discuss the process. However to my knowledge, there is not enough research on this to be able to say with great certainty. Even with 1:1, it is likely that communication activities emerge - using Facebook as a leisure activity is based on individual computer use, but still is a very social activity. However from a government perspective, is 1:1 really necessary? At this stage, difficult to say for sure, but certainly those countries (e.g. Portugal) that are aiming for 1:1 are currently receiving a lot of praise for their initiative - but how sustainable is this approach? Even with lower cost Netbooks, this is a huge purchasing decision if it is to be implemented on a national level.

The SDK also knows who clicked where. For example, a map is displayed with the question, "where is London?" and students are awarded points in terms of closeness. Programs also can divide the screen into areas for group work. In most activities, the control area can be clicked by only the teacher's mouse.
