An article about laptops in the schools making no positive impact on students' performance was distributed to members of the Digital Divide Committee and I am wondering what people think about it. And I will start the discussion off by saying that I think that the issues we on the committee are trying to address may be very distinct and very separate from the issue of technology in the classroom. As I mentioned at the April meeting, I feel strongly that laptops don't belong on every desk in the classroom, but some call me a Luddite (someone who is anti technology or afraid of technology). It just seems like too much of a distraction from true pedagogy. Just my two cents.
But what do others feel about the question of whether or not this is within the committee's purview?
(I will attach the article as soon as I figure out some technical difficulties - maybe I AM a Luddite!)
