Hello!! Right now, I have a 1:2 ratio and many times I can get enough computers to have a 1:1 ratio. I suggest that you do the forms in centers or have them do the quiz when they are done read, often times kids get done reading at different times. You could also have them working on an activity and having 5 students taking the quiz, when they are done they pass the computer to another student who has not taken the quiz and go back to working on the activity!
