So I read an article today that talked about internet policies as well as every student and teacher being able to use a laptop in the classroom. I am glad the their are AUP's out there which are regulations on how the computer and in particular how the internet should be used. I know this is all benefical and in reality would be sweet. But I am going to be a Debbie downer and ask the question how would every student and teacher get a laptop? Who would have to pay for them and then repairs for those computers? What about those families who can't afford to buy a laptop let alone food?
Those are just some of my gut reaction. I think the privelege of having a laptop for everyone is very idealistic but I am not sure on how well it would work out. I can see the system backfiring with students becoming distracted and not treating the laptop well because it is not theirs and if it is then why not play games? I do not know any thoughts?
