- This paper illustrates an example of how a municipality east of Sweden in their one-to-one computing enactment has become tangled up in a web of policy networks, forming a 1-1 (i.e. one computer per student) policy discursive regime in order to transform the educational practice in schools. These policy changes are being enacted in educational institutions by external IT companies through their implementation of new technology. Our aim is to unpack the policy relations and influences of this implementation by using ethnographic methods and to develop new categories to explain this phenomenon. The research has been based on network ethnographic research (Ball, 2012; Howard, 2002) in multi-sited field work in relation to 1-1 policy and the emergence and formation of a 1-1 policy discursive regime in Sweden. 1-1 policy is a global movement, where policy communities with many private players and policy actors (national and international IT companies, think tanks and policy intellectuals, National Agency for Education) work beyond national borders and where it is not always clear whose motives or relations form the origins of the networks and communities. Our intention is to develop a deeper understanding of network governance and partnerships, and their propagation of the educational ideas that become objectified knowledge. We do so through two research components. Firstly, we focus on the main idea that has taken root in the municipality’s 1-1 enactment. Secondly, we map the networks, partners and knowledge actors behind the ideas, the so called coordinators, and how their ideas are translated into activities on a local level.
