Questions on working with a laptop at school:

1.Laptops for every children in class and at home?

→ It's a bad idea, because..

• they can't really concentrate because they can surf on other pages while they are working in the internet
• they only communicate with their friends via the internet

2. What's the best way to use it at school?- which subjects?

• for English/French lessons to use a dictionary or English/French newspapers
• mathematics to demonstrate something
• economy to analyse some up to date statistics

3. Learning with laptops better/more effectively/faster?- how does this work?

→ No, because

• children's attention is more diverted ...
• you don't learn as intensively as without laptops because you can't really concentrate when you are doing other things at the same time.

→ in some ways yes, because

• you can search for information faster
• you know something more about some themes e.g.?
• you can contrast different opinions of other persons
