My students are proficient writers but they are not very good at typing. Even if they want to convert their work to a soft copy they don't have enough time in the day to use computers because we don't have enough computers for kids to use. Research projects, writing projects, coding, learning to browse the web safely, practicing good etiquette are all powerful and important things I want my fourth graders to learn and yet they are held back by a lack of computers. PLUS, we like to move around the school and our neighborhood. It would be amazing if we could bring our laptops into the field with us and capture our ideas right then and there! So many adults have spent their professional careers using technology and yet we have students that are only exposed to it in ways related to entertainment (watching youtube, playing games). They adapt so well to technology and yet, they don't engage with it enough as scholars!
