criteria A / 3

Criteria A

It is arguable whether the use of laptop provides education a new dimension in research and making notes or does it distract the student in accessing irrelevant websites, such as Youtube. There are no limitations in using a laptop at school; every website is accessible, allowing the student’s freedom to access the web in the middle of the lesson. This raises the ethical issue of policies and standards, which is the biggest issue in using a laptop in school. Many teachers are aware of the students having freedom to use their laptops in the lesson inappropriately.

Technology is an important aspect in education, there for there is the need of laptops in school to expand and give the student an electronic library which will be able in the lesson. This is a great example of policies and standard as it is difficult to prevent the students from using the internet appropriately and use it solitary for education. Most of the students in the school uses it for research, but many may used to play games, use messenger, and going to inappropriate websites

The concerns of students getting distracted by the laptops arise between teachers. the issue also expands into being hard to control students to use the laptops appropriately. Teachers are very limited when talking about monitoring on the user of the laptop. As they are very busy teaching the class, and if the teacher is monitoring the student, the student may feel their privacy being invaded.
