On the math side, Microsoft Excel makes it easy for students to create sophisticated charts and graphs, and to do it easily. So they're not just reading someone else's chart. That means they can spend more time on analysis. Having students share computers is just not the same. With a laptop, the computer becomes a personal computer really fast.
Students can store their diaries, do their homework, record thoughts for later use.
The laptop program, with its individual access to technology, makes that match fully possible. My classroom is now truly student-centered. And everyone in Snohomish, students, teachers, parents and administrators, appreciates the difference. All rights reserved. Terms of use.
