The article discusses the possibility of each students having a laptop computer. Some of the benefits include excitement for learning, researching, writing, and doing projects. Cooperation between students increases in the classroom.
Parents participate in computer camps, and teachers receive training.
In some districts a yearly insurance fee is charge to the parents. The students are allow to take the laptop home. Other districts parents have to pay $50-$60 a month. Donors and the regional commission help to pay computers. Some parents will not be able to pay a fee.
How to integrate the computer with the lesson is a great concern for teachers. Students will need to learn to be profiicient in typing. Another concern is that students might forget to bring the laptops back to school.
If the parents pay money each month, do the students keep the laptops at the end of the school year? How much time do the students spend on the computer? Will it affect the other core subjects? We should consider these questions before we begin this program.
