Should schools go 1:1 with technology?( Every student has a computer ) by Kayla

Typing. You are in the classroom working on a project. It is due tomorrow, and you have no way of getting it done at home. You try to hurry when there is not much time left. What you do is ask the teacher for more time in class, right, well wrong.

I think every student should have a laptop. Some people might announce that students don't need laptops. They have a computer at home.

However, they are probably wrong. Scholars might have the urge to complete projects or homework. A computer could earn you 86% better position in school. Kids suggest that they apply them for research and homework. They would rather adopt computers than read books, observe TV, or even shop at the mall. Also computers are 100% better than a few years ago. They will be 100% higher quality in the future.

Furthermore, at one school, Bells Elementary in Turnersville, use PDAs, which is like a computer. Most of the programs that are on a PDA are probably equal to a computer design. Not far from a computer, they can type assignments or take notes. On top of that, they can check someone else work and revise it, resembling a computer. As an example, of wasting paper, they bring into play a design that they could draw an ocean floor.

As well as, PDAs and computers, they are going green. On a PDA students connect with a computer and empower them to draw diagrams or arrange presentations. Students state, " The new technology is fun and use and saves ink and paper." Instead of printing pictures they can take pictures on a PDA or even a laptop. Graduates can type out essays, so that they don't have to waste paper.

In addition, students adore computers. 3/4 of students report that computers are a blast. The next generation will adjust for a career. Most of jobs now use skills of computers. If kids got $2,000, they would shop for a computer or collect it for college.

Moreover, an organization, One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), is making an XO computer. What it can do is take a hit and stand warm or cold weather. The screen can go black/white in glowing sunlight or colorful inside. It is covered in rubber. It controls less electricity, and works up to 8 hours in one charge. The computer has a camera and a microphone and the ability to full flipping over.

Likewise, Central York School District is learning with technology. CYSD has proposed assembling the 21st century technology for students. It has renewed classrooms for all teachers, so that they can individualize instructions and encourage students in learning. All students get the same amount of achievement for technology resources. The total budget for electronics average 1.4% of CYSD.

To sum it up, I believe that students should have a laptop. Imagine you're sitting in the classroom working on a project. You're almost done, so you decide to finish at home with your laptop. If I have convinced you, what you could do for this idea is write a letter to the school board.
