Reviewed in the results are the data collected from the questionnaire, individual face-to-face interviews, and the focus groups. Fourteen participants participated in this instrumental case study. Three research questions guided the study and were reviewed and answered in this chapter. Five major themes and two subthemes emerged from the collected data. The five themes are providing support, necessary tools for educational support, teacher involvement, individualized learning, and quality resources. Subthemes are specific training and student engagement. The themes were used to answer the research questions and address teachers’ perceptions of the newly implementing 1:1 laptop. Additionally, the themes were used to discover device utilization and the type of professional development teachers received to integrate the devices.
Influences of laptops in classrooms were identified and teachers’ perceptions discussed. Teachers utilized laptops several ways. Some strategy includes individualized learning, small groups, and the whole group. Additionally, the type of professional development for 1:1 integration is important. However, issues around receiving training have been identified. Findings are further discussed in the discussions, conclusions, and recommendations, with a recap of the findings, the implications, and recommendations for the future.
