At John Laidlaw Elementary School, the fifth graders
were issued thirty Google Chromebooks. A Chromebook is basically a laptop that
uses the internet browser Google Chrome and has several interactive
applications. The students use the applications to do several assignments such
as writing papers and taking quizzes. The applications also allow the teachers
and students to collaborate with one another. The younger grades at this school
use Macbooks and kindergarten through second grade now have iPads. Technology
is definitely increasing in the classroom and it has students excited about
learning. I am however concerned that using so much technology may make the
students lazy in a sense. I see both the positive and negative sides of this.
