The link to the article you are referring to in this posting is not live and so I’ve not been able to access the actual article you are citing. However, you do raise some interesting points about the use of laptops – their strengths and limitations. I wonder how your belief that their use should be controlled, in effect, by the teacher sits with the idea of autonomous learning and personalised learning. Doesn’t access to a rich ICT environment allow for more personalised learning? What do you think? What role might a teacher play in such an environment? Glynis Dear Phoebe,
