In the context of education, one-to-one computing (sometimes abbreviated as "1:1") refers to academic institutions, such as schools or colleges, that allow each enrolled student to use an electronic device in order to access the Internet, digital course materials, and digital textbooks.

In this case, Waterloo Local Schools are supplying the devices.

Our goal as a district is to become as prepared as possible for any eventualities in the next few months in preparation for whatever the fall may bring. Having access to a device from which to teach, create, and communicate is key, and we're excited to make it happen.

Both staff and students will have access to, and be assigned, a device. Students a Chromebook and Staff a Windows machine.

We will deploy a laptop type device called a Chromebook. It's a laptop style computer that runs the Chrome operating system, and a device that most of our students have already used for instructional purposes in the classroom.

Chromebooks are highly durable, easy to manage, and easy to use. Just sign in with the school Google user account, and it's ready to access all of the resources used for class.

We are deploying Chromebooks by HP. Grades K-2 will utilize HP touchscreen Chromebooks and Grades 3-12 will utilize standard HP Chromebooks.
