I feel that the use of individual laptops in the classroom is unnecessary. It is not only a distraction, but very costly. It is very true that children can learn from technology, however with the free use of laptops, children will most likely begin to wonder on the internet and not utilize the laptops for what they're meant for. They will begin to explore and find other websites that have nothing to do with education. When I was in school, my class definitely looked forward to computer class. But, there was a structure and when we finally got into the classroom, we did not care if we were doing work, as long as we got to use the computer. I feel that individual laptops will definitely cause a distraction. There is nothing wrong with having good old fashioned computer class and that is it. And there is no telling if the students will be able to take on the responsibility of having a personal laptop.

I would definitely incorporate a web log into my classroom. I will be teaching a totally different generation than the ones in the past. I know that I myself and a technological person and I know that having a web log would definitely reach the students better and make the class that much more interesting!
