The Case For BYO Laptops
You may have noticed that the price of laptops have dropped dramatically in the last twelve months. In 2006 the base model laptop would set you back around $1000, twelve months later the price is under $600!
Is the time approaching when students will bring their own laptop to school? Should it be allowed? How would you envisage students using their own laptops at school? What about security? What about those studenst who can not afford a laptop?
Most students now bring their own data storage to school. With the advent of inexpensive flash drives, students are able to carry in their pocket more storage than the school network is able to offer! Will other technology go this way? Currently students are bound to using school PC’s on the school network and accessing the internet via our ISP. Will the future be students with their own laptop, storage and wireless internet connection - ie. totally independant of the school IT infrastructure? How will this change the way classes are run, the way students learn??
