Q<£A
Q: Do you think you have sufficient access to technology and
digital devices, such as computers, tablets or smartphones, in your
classes? Are there other devices you need for your work in school?
“I am
surrounded
by technology
all the time in
the classroom.
Everywhere I
look there are
computers and
smartphones
that can be
used to answer
whatever
question is being asked. In order to
complete my schoolwork, the only
thing that I would need is an access
to the Internet. Everything you could
possibly need is at the touch of your
fingertips. Some schoolwork requires
the need for a word processing
application. This can be done on both
a computer and even a smartphone.”
Sam Cimowoky, Juiuor
North Atlanta High School
“I think that
we do not have
sufficient access
to technology in
our classrooms.
I think we could
use several
desktops. If we
had computers
in our
classrooms we
would get a lot
more done and be more productive. On
the other hand I think that computers
are definitely enough. We don’t need
tablets or any other devices because
I really think they would just be
misused in some cases because they
are more for games and apps, and
break more easily, so I think computers
would be less distracting and better
used for an educational purposes.”
Chad Davi), Sophomore
River wood International Charter School
“While most
of my classes
utilize smart
boards and
teachers have
laptops, I feel
students do
not always
have access to
technological
devices.
Students
should be able to regularly use tablets,
smartphones, or computers to enhance
their education. At Marist, if you do
not have a class with multiple desktops
or have a study hall, the entire day
can pass without using technology.”
Catherine Mulluu, Senior
Mar 'ut School
“Although no
technology
is absolutely
necessary
da l for use in
schoolwork,
the Weber
School allows
students to
bring in laptops,
tablets and
smartphones for
an added aid. For students who do not
own things like that, like myself, Weber
has personal computers that can be
checked in and out. We also have two
computer labs and computers in the
media center that are always available.
I think Weber does a great job making
technology available for those of us
who can’t bring in our own devices.”
Jenna Kahn, Sophomore
The Weber School
