In a one computer classroom the participation structure determines the mode of instruction: As a result will the students work?
  •       Individually
  •     In cooperative groups
  •    Whole class

Teacher and students use the 'computer' as:
  • Presentation Tool
  • Learning station/center: research, data collection, publishing, media production, brainstorming
  • Multimedia chalkboard/Flipchart
  • Cooperative learning media
  • Individual work device
  • Assessment Tool

 Management Strategies needed in a one computer classroom:
  • Rotational schedule
  • Teaching rules and procedures with their consequences
  • Prevention, Intervention, Post-intervention strategies
