The nature of my classroom is unpredictable, and as a result some days are less productive than others. When one of my students has become upset to the point that it is disrupting others, or making the environment unsafe, the rest of my class is removed from the room. This often means taking them away from the desktop computers that contain their individualized assignments, or leaving behind vital paper assignments in the rush. It's unfair and makes makes the task of maximizing instructional time unnecessarily difficult. The benefit of laptops is that students can complete individual assignments in a flexible manner, in or out of our designated classroom. This will allow more time to be spent on learning and less time to be spent on recreating lessons and materials when the classroom has become disadvantageous.
