My youngest daughter was looking through some old papers of hers the other morning and came across this short essay she wrote last year in sixth grade. I thought it was kind of interesting to read the perspective of a sixth grade student on the subject of technology. I scanned the essay thinking I could upload it to my blog but it evidently was not in the correct format so I am typing it here, exactly as she wrote it, for you to read.
HOAGLAND SHOULD GO HI-TECH
To make Hoagland better I think each student should get a laptop to do all of their work on. Then the teachers don't have to worry about losing the assignments. Plus the students might want to do their work. The teacher just gives the assignments and the students do it on the computer. If the students don't get done they take the laptop home. Then when they finish they e-mail it back. They can make up any e-mail address they want.
Now what if it's a work sheet? The teacher just scans it on their computer and e-mails it to each student.
The students would still use textbooks to do their assignments, it's just it wouldn't be on paper. Just think you wouldn't have to worry about sloppy handwriting.
So if everyone has a laptop everything would be easier. That's why I think everyone should have a laptop.

Maybe someone will submit that to the powers that be at USF... I'm all for going paper-less and laptops (macs though ;) )
