Laptops and Wireless Technology for Anytime, Anywhere LearningThe following summary by Jamie McKenzie about the benefits of laptops and wireless technology for Anytime Anywhere discusses why wireless networks utilizing mobile computers are preferable to the stillprevalent practice of putting a few desktop machines in the back of each classroom. (Also see a related publication by NCEF on this subject14). Jamie McKenzie's list published in the journal From Now On is paraphrased here:• Ease of Movement: Untethered laptops can be moved anywhere in the building and require no special furniture.• Relaxed Fit: Laptops are easier to accommodate within existing classrooms because of theirsmall footprint.• Strategic Deployment: Laptop computers can be deployed on rolling carts where they areneeded most, creating one-toone learning opportunities that traditional methods of distributing computers throughout a school do not provide.• Flexibility: Laptops can be used within existing rooms and can be configured to fit the teacher's preference and the nature of the learning experience, whether that is team, group, or individual.Wireless laptops place no additional demands on furniture or space.• Cleanliness: Elimination of cables and wires means that 25 or even 30 laptops can beaccommodated in a room without creating a mess.• Low Profile: Unlike desktops behind whose large monitors students may be hidden, laptopshave low profiles, allowing teachers and students to have important eye contact.• Convenience: As with the Quins Beach example, wireless laptops' ability to be readilyavailable when needed and easily stowed when not makes them more likely to be used.• Simplicity: The simplicity,comfort, and reliability of wireless laptops means thatteachers and students can focus on learning, not on hardware.This may help technology attainthe full use that has been hoped for but often not realized because of technical difficultiesor inconvenience.• Speed: There is almost no setup time for wireless laptops. They can be up and running withoutneeding to locate and connect ordisconnect a wire. This is a huge advantage and another way inwhich the technology itself becomes subordinate to the task of learning."
