School Laptops

Our school is implementing a new program next year in which every student will be given a laptop, who will probably have to pay for their own laptops. I really dont have much of an opinion about this program i regret to say. The only news ive heard about this is that we will be geting laptops, but i dont know how the laptops wil be used with classes, how they will be payed for, or any information at all about how the school will function with these. I think it is a good idea if they have figured out a way to monitor kids in class to see what they are doing on their laptops, and doing their work instead of playing games, like mybe blocking certain websites using the school routers themselves, or the way Mr. Murphy has set up his computer so he can see the screens of everyone in class. I really cant say to much about who should pay for the laptops because I dont know how much they will cost, but I wouldnt imagine much so I predict it will be on the students to pay for their laptops. I think that this program is a very good idea if teachers have figured out ways to use it to enhance student's learning experience, but I really cant imagine any logical reason of why the laptops will help any more then the computer labs already do. Computer classes have classrooms with computers and other classrooms have computer rooms to use, so I really dont see how the laptops are necessary. It sounds like a great idea to give every student a laptop, but i have no idea how the laptops are going to help teachers do their jobs any better.
