The one computer in a classroom is beneficial to students because it ensures that a computer is readily available to teachers and students for a variety of uses in and out of class time. A lot of challenges can arise though as you are working with one computer and many students.
The teacher must ensure that he/she has rules for the use of the one computer so that no one student can manipulate it. Teachers must also ensure that they plan well so that students who are not engage with the computer are also involved in class related activities. The teacher must organize class and computer for optimal supervision. Teacher can also get other students to assist in supervising class .
Teacher can also use the LCD projector or interactive white board when possible to assist in engaging all students at once to lessen disciplinary issues. Having an individual available to deal with technical issues that can arise from using one computer can also facilitate good classroom management.
