I read an article on the ISTE site about the benefits of laptops for the elementary teacher. AS an advocate for a non-networked building, this was a very intriguing article. The study was conducted into five categories: individual teacher growth, professional productivity, individual student use, collaborative learning with projection, and teacher motivation. An overwhelming response initiated that teachers are much more productive in their own "professional development" in technology with the use of laptops. Reports concluded that teachers, beginners through advanced, moved more rapidly and aggressively through the "technology" stages. Teachers are able to acquire these skills outside of the classroom, especially in their own homes. One factor that consistently repeated throughout the study was how teachers increased their confidence levels. "IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WIL COME!"
