In addition, most laptop classes do more projects, which usually involve more critical thinking. Students can learn anytime anywhere. Having a computer 24 hours a day, at home, at school, in the car on a family trip, means that students can complete assignments in ways and in places they've never been able to before. Students are more productive learners. With the computer available to them, students get more work done and learn faster.
Students develop real world skills.
With laptop computers and the same application software used in business, students complete projects that would be acceptable in boardrooms around the world. Students learn the Information Age skills they will need to succeed in 21st century careers. Finding information, making sense of it, and communicating it are key Information Age skills that students master in laptop classes. Students develop oral language prowess and skill in making presentations. Creating PowerPoint presentations and getting up in front of the class to present them orally give students confidence and skill in public speaking situations.
