This paper presents the literature that exists on the one-to-one (1:1) laptop program in the public school system and the effect that it has on students, teachers, and the general classroom experience, primarily in the core subject areas. The gap in literature regarding the 1:1 program in hands-on classes such as home economics is discussed, and therefore, the literature regarding simply general computer use in home economics is presented separately, in order to create a rationale for the 1:1 laptop program in a hands-on dominant classroom such as home economics. A teacher resource guide is included, with concrete ideas for all three areas of the Manitoba Home Economics Grades 7-9 curriculum: foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, and family studies. Finally, a personal reflection is included, referencing the growth and learning that has occurred throughout this learning experience.
