Laptops in the classroom created a greater interest in research, writing, and projects students work on. Cooperation and a sense of community were created by students sharing information about their laptops. Suspensions decreased.
Where the money came from was interesting. Some times it came from the school system, but other times it came from outside grants or dontaions. In other instances, the parents were asked to foot the bill, in monthly installments.
Some questions that were raised: Why do we need this? Is this particular technology necessary?
When the laptops were first introduced into our school system (DeSoto), I was very anti-technology. I could understand the use for research, but students were writing projects and reports on them. I still believe that handwriting is quickly becoming a lost art!
