      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.

    Not sure why you sent that link as a email instead of posting it Jaime, but it is very interesting. This is really interesting as a tech development. Will this idea catch on, do people want things not "with them" what if Google goes under what happens to that data? For us I think it is a problem because it would mean so much of students work is stored out of the country, out of the district (this is an advantage to Moodle). Personally I am intrigued but cautious, I don't like subscription service for something as key as my data. While it may protect me from my hard drive crashing and not having a back up it doesn't protect me from Google jacking up my subscription fee.

    I think I emailed it because I have to constantly redownload the diigo bookmark app (due to deep freeze) and couldn't be bothered that day. i find the migration to cloud-based storage interesting...i ditched my usb drive over a year ago to store everything online. i have some documents on google docs, and some in dropbox....but (knock on wood), it hasn't been a problem so far to actually get to my items. the only problem is relying on school-based networks. but then again, schools that implement ipads would have the same problems, and i think more can be created/done with a laptop, so maybe google is on to something. my ipad2 arrived yesterday, and i got a bit tired of holding it at a nice viewing angle (i know, i have weak arms), so this morning, i am doing my online stuff from laptop. i think i'll have to buy a nice stand for it before i can start to use it as much as my laptop.

    Lots of little tips on how to use google apps in school settings. i didn't know there was a flashcard gadget on google-spreadsheets. and their ideas on different ways to use Forms would be great once there's enough access to laptops/devices.
