Schools ditching laptop programs en masse

[Jasonbot]

I use my Macbook every day in my high school. I do, however close it when I'm not using it, because the screensaver distracts me

What school are you at? And: Do you have a designated laptop programme at school or are you just to 1337 to use books in class?

I can see myself make use of a laptop...I bring my iBook G4 in for project(when ever we need to do a slideshow I use keynote)....but my school keeps its Wi-Fi locked up, and not all ethernet ports will allow internet(atleast last time I tired, although that was while ago, can I might have done something wrong)


I'll be bring my iBook to school tomorrow for a health project I'm working on, I'll use it for notes, just to see how things work. I'd use it all the time, it my school offered copys of the textbooks on CD when you buy the hard copy of the book(which I'd never used)

Camps Bay High School ( www.campsbayhigh.co.za ).

No, we don't have a laptop programme, but lots of students bring there laptops to school to take notes etc. almost everyone who brings a laptop has a mac

I can't really see laptops helping kids out that much. For some it may work every well. I remember though when I was in school, the color of my wall was enough distraction for me not to finish my homework.
