Today it is more and more common for schools to provide teachers as well as students with laptops. Projects like this are worldwide called "One-to-one", one laptop per child. This paper conveys thoughts and ideas from a number of teachers in a medium-sized Swedish municipality in which all high school students and teachers, since a couple of years, have their own laptops. The aim of this paper is to clarify how the teachers’ situation has been affected by the implementations of the laptops. The main focus is on pedagogical changes, aspects of changes in time and space, and the teachers' own learning process. The new technique involves a series of educational benefits that teachers use in more or less extent.The teachers who are interviewed in this paper share their own experiences working withthese matters. How the individual teachers handle the use of the laptops depends on their different attitudes towards the technology and towards the project. This paper can be used as an inspiration and guidance for other municipalities and schools that not yet provide laptops for all teachers and students.
