CONS

I think supplying computers to students would be a disadvantage.  Some students do not have the maturity and responsibility to take care and use these machines.  Many students would abuse the computers and neglect them.  Secondly, I think that this would cost the school and government too much money.  I think this would be a waste of money and the money could go somewhere else to better the learning of these students.

Online Conference

After watching my online conference video, I learned how students are using more mobile devices and electronics in the classroom.  "Project Based Learning in Hand" shows its viewers through the movie that students as early as elementary school are using more technology; fifth graders were using hand held devices to use apps to do homework and to collaborate with fellow classmates.  This video also shows how teachers can use this new technology more efficiently in the classroom for projects and lessons.  I really enjoyed this video and hope to start using this new information soon so that I can be accustomed to it before I begin teaching as a teacher.
