I can think of several areas that having a computer for every child would help- but it requires training and adaptation by the teachers. 1) A large pool of free, open e-textbooks that teachers can customize and contribute to for the needs of their class. Textbook publishers are the scum of the earth and most of their textbooks used in education suck terribly. 2) Access to video explanations/lectures, etc. 3) Adaptive assignments and exams like Kahn Academy that allows students to work on solving problems that are at their level and progress at a different pace than the class as a whole. 4) Easier for students, parents, and teachers to track progress towards educational goals over time. 5) Learning about computers. (Keyboarding to programming...) Might be some other ways to use computers in education that would pay real benefits, please comment :)
