The Government Plan to introduce laptops in class


Introducing laptops in schools has been one of the latest plans of the Government. The use of technology is growing every day, and more countries are developing similar plans.
The use of laptops in class can be a good idea, because nowadays everywhere we go, we are surrounded by technology. And the fact that the students can have laptops in class is beneficial, as the teacher can explain to them how and for what they can use them, the different programs they can use and all the possibilities you have with the internet.

The traditional ways can still be used; those being books, notebooks, and blackboard, but if you have the chance to study and learn blending both, all the better.

First of all, children have fun using laptops and internet in class, it is a different way of work. They can all take part, create projects looking for information, pictures, videos, on the net. Today, most children have computers at home and they use them for games, programmes to chat with people, but there is more to all that. And if schools have the chance to introduce laptops at a very young age it would be ideal to show them how to use them properly.

But on the other hand, as we all know, not everything we find on the net is positive and beneficial to us. A lot of people make bad use of it, and take advantage of innocent people, which why we have to be very careful when we surf the net, and if we can introduce this at an early age, all the better. They have to understand that not everything is true or good.

Today's world, computers are present in most of our jobs and homes. You would probably be asked at an interview, if you have any basic skills and how to use different programmes. All the experience that children gain at school will be very positive for their future.

In my opinion, the new plan of introducing laptops in schools is positive. Teachers have the chance and the responsibility to explain all they can about computers and internet, and students have the opportunity to learn about the good use of technology.
