We would lhttp://wikis.zum.de/rmg/skins/common/images/button_bold.pngike to have laptops in class and at home for ourselves because...

no need for worksheets, pads and folders anymore (lighter school bags)
you´ve got all your things with you ==> you'll never forget anything and surprises in changing lessons are no problem
more orderly homework
chatting with classmate would be much easier
working on exercises on pc ????

subjects you can use it in well: German, English, Latin, Maths, Biology, History, Geography
use it for essays (easier to read than handwritings of some pupils) and other homework
graphs can be drawn very easily ==> easier to imagine their look as just with a few points

Yes, searching the internet is faster and easier than looking up in books and libraries
No, search-engines give too many websites
No, information in the internet could be not right, just silly

some pupils will defnetly play instead of learning during the lessons
doing your homework not by yourself would be very easy...
problems with using the laptop: writing with ten fingers, difficult software, low battery
pornography and violence videos can be distributed faster among the children

pupils use it to exchange answers in tests
pupils download pornography
hack into local business or dchool administration
found way around network-security and put how-to into the web
pc´s break down
servers break down very often
pupils don´t ask teachers for help, try to help themselves by using the internet ==> breaking down of system/server/etc due to overload
PC isn´t helpful in educating students (no effects on test scores)
abused by pupils (downloading of pornography/illegal websites)
don´t fit into lesson plans
logistical, technical problems (e.g. should every pupil get a laptop or just those who come from deprived families?)
teachers have to know how to use laptops ==> have to be trained ==> costs for seminars
most of the pupils never used their laptop for learning

no/little use and effect on test scores
many schools give laptops back again
no differences between students that used educational software and those who did not
high costs
