1 We would like it because it's very useful and would be a good replacement for the papers, exercise books which had to be used before, you won´t have to take them all with you.

2 Good way of using the Internet for example is to search for information and use it for presentations or discuss it in class, to use the laptops instead of an exercise book and you have all your entries with one click.

3 + 4 We think it won´t help you to learn better and faster because there are unlimited opportunities what you can do with your laptop: you could play games, could chat with your friends, could post some posts in bloggs, all this things are, like you know, things which keep you away from learning.

4 You can get fake information from the internet because not everything on the internet is true.

René Nüßlein:

• The costs of the laptop programm are criticized.
• Pupils become masters in video games or get faster at typing but don´t become better in school.
• “It´s better to wait and buy one for college” (Eddie, 18, Liverpool)
• Schools invest in laptops because they think they are the key to the 21st century classroom.
• The project costs 45mio Dollar, financed with city, state and federal money.

• A study, which compares schools with laptops to schools without laptops, diagnoses that the schools with laptops are better in math.
