2 1:1 Laptop Initiative The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) has initiated a program to equip every secondary student and teacher with a mobile computing device (i.e. laptop computer). In the school year, ten schools (eight high schools, one middle/high school, and one middle school) have been selected to participate in a pilot program that will provide a laptop computer to every teacher and student.
