Laptop for School Use

July 13, 2012 By admin

A question arises on whether the use of laptops in school actually offers advantages to the students.  We are talking about advantages in relation to the learning process of students more than anything else.  Many students can be quick to the defense by citing availability in communication and required information. However, there are studies that will show that laptops are being used inside the classroom other than for this reason.

Many colleges and universities have programs that equip each and every student with their personal laptops.  With the immense portability of many laptops today such as the Asus Eee, it can be readily understood why many schools and students prefer the use of laptops.  On the part of the school, all offered communications are usually sent online.  Students on the other hand see the advantage on specific student tasks to be performed including research, taking notes, studying for a test, and class registration, among others.

Not all teachers and professors agree or approve of the use of laptops inside the classroom.  The number one reason is that of distraction.  This distraction is not merely in the physical sense where the attention of students is riveted to their individual computers.  Teachers may only see a sea of computers instead of faces and this can be very distracting for a very much engaged mentor.

Students having ready access to computers can also let personal matters distract them from the matter at hand.  Thus, instead of studying, they can be checking their emails, chatting with friends, playing online games, or simply browsing the Internet for unrelated concerns.  Email checking may be official when related to school matters although a class in session is hardly the place to do it.
