    I think the approach that we need to consider is how to help students manage their lives (at least their academic ones) with technology.

If we don't examine this issue then it will end up undermining most of what we try and accomplish.

      Do laptop screens inhibit discussion and interaction??? Does it make a difference having something flat on the desk?
  • but decided against issuing laptops to every student. Mr. Reisinger felt the screens worked against a “good and healthy discussion,” and the time to boot up would take away from class time.

  • Students cannot, for instance, download movies or visit social networking sites. School tools can also help: A wireless tracking signal once let staff find a “missing” laptop that was simply buried in the student’s own backpack, said seventh-grade Latin teacher Aaron L. Fuller.
