Questions on the working with a laptop at school:

1. No, because:

• they are too slow for learning with them in the lesson
• need too much time for working
• the display is too small
• without a normal mouse it is very annoying
• the pupil can use them for their own interests also in the lesson
• not good for the eyes, to look the whole day on a screen
• electromagnetic pollution is very bad for the health

2. In subjects:

• where you have to write essays o r other articles (e.g. German)
• where you have to find information in the web (e.g. for an presentation)
• where you need special programs like “GeoGebra”

3.1 Pro: You can learn faster, because…

• you can find every information with one click
• you can write faster with the keyboard than by hand

3.2 Contra: You can´t learn so effective and good, because…

• you can get distracted very easy by games, etc.
• not all, that is in the web is right, but you trust it anyway
