Laptops in School
This is not a reasonable expectation, as not all families can afford a laptop for school, let alone for home use. If teachers built courses around laptops, some students would be at a large disadvantage. Laptops are helpful tools, and if the school provided the laptops, it would be fine, even if this presents it's own problems. With the Internet, you can either give students unrestricted access, or block every bad site, each with their own problems. As well, personal laptops allows students to bring any number of files into the school, which is quite a problem, but with school laptops, they cannot be modified, so certain programs are unavailable. As an expectation, personal laptops can be expensive, maybe even in 2012. As we are a digital society, a small little laptop does not come with the right capabilites. They would be fun to have,but how it is implenmented needs much thought.
