Q UESTION 1 Describe the positive ways the laptops have helped us in class We can all look something up at once We can type up our papers on the laptop We can explore and create things we just couldn’t otherwise

Q UESTION 2 Are there any negatives to having the laptops in our classroom? Sometimes when we have to type papers on the laptop and it would just be easier writing it on paper And then when boys look up things that they shouldn’t and play games when were supposed to be working on our projects

Q UESTION 3 What are projects I have enjoyed this year? My favorite things are narrowed down to 2, I really liked publisher and I also really liked working on power point. I think that they are both sufficient sights.

Q UESTION 4 What projects do I want to try that would include using our laptops? I would love it if we could make and our own maps of a country that we made up on publisher probably.

Q UESTION 8 In the district writing assessment would I rather write or would I rather use the laptop. I would rather use good old paper and pen or pencil because its just easier for me in general.

Q UESTION 9 How do I think having one laptop per student has improved work in our classroom? I do actually no one will get more time on the computer and no one will get less and it speeds thing up a lot.

Q UESTION 10 Do I think using the laptops in our room have created a better classroom environment? Yes and no, yes because its easier in general and no because the laptops create havoc in our room.
