Cleanup tag

It seems to me that this article repeatedly violates Wikipedia's manual of style, so I've added the cleanup rewrite template. I apologize if this article does not need cleanup.

I would favour a rewrite that improves on this. I made many of the changes in 2017/2018 on the basis of;

red research and the one to one institute.
The NY-Times may 2017 article about the googlification of education (rapid growth of Chromebooks )
Futuresource-consulting's reports on sales of devices into the schools in the USA. up to 58% chromebooks at the start of 2017 and the growth slowing to 59.6% in Q3.
Some real-world examples.
Then a structured approach to take a sample of schools and check their 1:1 status from their own published material.
A comparison of the schools that were mentioned in the 2007 NY Times article as having abandoned 1:1 and comparing it to what their status was now. This clarified that the 2007 doubts about 1:1 had not led to permanent abandonment. 10 years on uptake was back.

The re-write should add more verifiable research sources as they become available. I have continued adding references from academic journals, besides the original publications by school districts and general sources.

Main problem remains that previous to 2010/2011 there was no great uptake of cloud-services in schools so the maintenance and support burden on teachers was greater and the data was often stored on the devices or LANs. Currently one can see universities choosing LMSs partly because they integrate with G-Drive, Onedrive etc. So educatonal institutions are increasingly aware that collaboration and storage are being used.

Costs and educational merits will remain intersting topics with occasional publications. Yoasties (talk) 20:20, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
