08.05.09: Questions on working with a laptop at school:

1.) Would you like to have a laptop for yourself in class and at home? Say why (not)!

Yes:

  • but only if I won't have to carry all my books with me any more
  • at last my own computer!!
  • unlimited access to the internet
  • I can get information more easily from the internet also at school!
  • you can easily correct writing mistakes and thus achieve a cleaner look of your workbook

No:

  • too slow (concerning this laptop we're testing)
  • keyboard is much too small and it takes a lot of time to get used to it
  • battery is weak
  • touchpad is circuitous

2.) What do you think would be the best way to use it at/for school? Think of different subjects!

  • no more heavy schoolbooks
  • your own computer is perfect for the subject informatics!
  • you can easily draw functions in mathematics
  • the teachers won't have to print all the worksheets any more because they can write it in a document thus a lot of costs for printing can be saved

3.) Do you think a laptop can help you to learn better / more effectively / faster ...? How would this work?

No:

  • because I will do anything at the computer but learn <== very honest! ;-)

Yes:

  • some pupils may write faster on the keyboard than by hand
  • there may be some programs for learning vocabulary for example


4.) What disadvantages/problems do you see in working with your personal laptop at and for school?

  • the pupils don't learn a correct handwriting
  • high costs for electricity because the batteries aren't strong enough to operate the laptop all the time at school
  • the pupils may get problems with their eyes because of looking at a display all the time

12.05.09: Criticism on the the OLPC-project

  • it's used only to sell as much laptops as possible and to make a great amount of money
  • the developers are more engaged in the problem to shttp://wikis.zum.de/rmg/index.php?title=11c_2008_09/Englisch/team7&action=edit

Bearbeiten von 11c 2008 09/Englisch/team7 – RMG-Wikiell as much laptops as possible to african children than to develop and improve those

  • open source is discussed ==> distraction
  • may be used to exploit the poor nations by make them pay millions of machines
  • Africans don't have the time to use such a laptop
  • it's much cheaper to supply the Africans with books in their language
  • the developers used hazardous hardware to build the laptops
  • the keyboard is stolen from a Lancor patented device

26.05.09: Report about testing criteria

1.) Powering up

  • takes too much time
  • that stupid "StudentMain" is annoying

2.)Typing

is very circitous because of:

  • the keys of the keyboard are much too small
  • some keys are on the wrong position
  • you pteschribe (prescribe) if you type after the feeling of the "classical" size of a keyboard

3.)Screen

  • much too small
  • the resolution is circitous because you have to scroll all over the website to find the right link (just look at the rmgwiki-page: to come to our class-link you have to scroll to the right)
  • is acrid and the colours are realistic

4.)Battery and Charging

  • is weak
