There seems to be little limit to the ingenuity being shown by Ursuline students and teachers. Girls who've struggled with pen and paper are blooming with our laptop projects. They just need to learn in a different way, and the laptops allow that. Nothing motivates like success, and you can't pay for the type of motivation I'm seeing in the classroom. Because the notebook PCs make it easier to do the work, students can spend more time thinking about what they're doing.
Revisions are easier so they can experiment with more alternatives.
Students are really thinking more and better. They're really communicating. Looking Ahead As far as it's come, Ursuline sees room for even broader use of notebook PCs in the year ahead. The addition of networking cards will put the notebooks on the school's network, allowing students to communicate and collaborate more easily with each other, and to access the Internet. An Ursuline alumna has already volunteered to help organize an online mentoring program to encourage students interested in careers in science and engineering.
