Many people fear that having a computer will reduce the human interaction between students. Actually, the opposite is true. In laptop classes students teach each other, work together on projects, and constantly interact with each other about the work they are doing. Students improve their critical thinking skills. 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.
