Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

I honestly can't imagine that laptops would provide significant increases in reading or math test scores, anyway. Perhaps I'm not up on their latest classroom uses, but it seems to me that the only place they would be beneficial would be in a writing class - they would definitely improve writing skills if only from the standpoint of making it much easier to write and publish and thus increasing the amount of this students would do. Feel free to contradict me, as I said, I'm not up on the latest uses for reading and math.
