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 pupils 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 your health

2. In subjects:

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

3.1 Pro: You can learn faster, because…

  • you can find the most information very fast
  • you can write faster with the keyboard than by hand

3.2 Con: You can´t learn so effectively, because…

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

4. look at answer 3.2

Are 100 Dollar per laptop too expensive?

  1. Yes, because...
  • in many countries 100 dollar is more than one monthly salary (e.g. in India)
  • the price will increase in the next few years
  • it's too expensive for the emerging markets
  • if the governments don't support the people to finance the laptops they won't be able to handle the costs
  1. No, because it's a "long form factor", that means that you will only pay for it one time, not like for books. If the project runs, it will save a lot of money.
