PLN4: Should we use Laptops in School?

A question was posed by Dr. Warschauer,which asks if laptops in a classroom are a waste of money and why. I think to some extent the laptops are a waste, however, they can be a good thing. For example, with how much technology is progressing, you can almost guarantee we'll be using computer in out careers. However, I was looking at some comments on his blog, and there was some terrible spelling and grammar. This to me means we don't spend enough time teaching kids how to read and write, and too much time on the computer. In conclusion, the laptops are not a waste of money, but we should use them less.
