This gap promoted the study’s purpose for conducting a qualitative instrumental case study to explore teacher’s perceptions, practices, and professional development in a newly implemented 1:1 laptop program. Exploration occurred through an investigation of certified teachers who taught in the school district before the implementation of the initiative. Relevant to the study was the significance and purpose of the study to inform administrators and other educational stakeholders of the importance of teacher’s voices in 1:1 programs.
