Some of today's schools insist that all students have their own laptop computer in class to assist in their education. Do you think that this would be an advantage to students' education or would it be an unnecessary complication? Information technology has become an integral part of today's society, and some schools demand that all students should bring their own laptop to the class. (Or - In some schools it is compulsory for students to bring their own laptops into class) I think this situation is advantageous to students because they can learn effectively with a device they are familiar with. First, it is effective to study with digital tools. Educational technology provides an engaging and individually-optimised study experience for students. For example, students can study maths using games and get feedback and further practice to correct their mistakes. Second, asking students to bring their own devices (BYOD) is a helpful way to allow them to study seamlessly. Students already know how to use their own computers and they can continue studying with them after class or even after graduation (not sure computers last that long!) On the other hand, using technology at school may cause confusion. It might look too complicated to early primary schoolers. Additionally, it is arguable who should bear the cost of providing laptops if they are mandatory. Some households may not be able to afford computers for their children. To summarise, although applicable grades (?) and financial support should be considered carefully, it seems beneficial for students to learn using their own device in class.
