Laptops replace textbooks in
Imagine how nice this would be for teachers, too. It’s easier to get assignments to kids, especially if they’re sick, and it’s easier to get assignments. No more “I forgot it in my locker, or at home, or in my other folder.” It’s due and it’s online! So much simpler! Students will also do better with the directions right in front of them. I like it in my own classes. If a teacher gives directions to do an assignment, I have to write it down or I’ll forget. It helps so much to have assignments online.

I’ve actually never heard of this technology, and I was surprised to know hat it existed. It’s a very good idea. I think it would work especially well in history and science classes. Imagine being able to take students on a tour of the world’s major volcanoes during that unit. Or immerse them in the Dust Bowl. Students would get a kick out of that, leading them to be more engaged and more willing to learn.
I think that this is such a neat idea. I’m definitely going to research more about it!
Is their anything good about the site? I’ve only heard bad news. Now this article where they’re spending time and money trying to catch offenders. Why not just close it down and start over, with better security?

I agree with your position on the laptops for students. It is easier for students to receive and send assignments. I think it will be a convenience for parents also, to see what there children are learning and see that they are completing their classwork. What I like about the laptops also is that it gives students their own personal space to express themselves. Jenny (your TEC290 classmate)
