I’ve been getting this question a lot lately from administrators, parents, and taxpayers. The question isn’t malicious, but rather comes from folks with a vested interest in making sure that our technology dollars directly benefit students. Does giving teachers laptops directly benefit students? For people who aren’t actively teaching in a classroom, that’s a hard question to answer.

For most people entering the business world, there is no question that they will have a computer on their desk when they are hired. It might be a laptop, a desktop, a shared desktop facilitated with some sort of flextime arrangement, or even a computer allowance so that the new hire can buy a machine that makes them the most productive. However, it’s not terribly likely that they’ll just be handed a dry erase marker and a whiteboard, pointed towards a copy machine, and told to go for it.
