It is difficult to answer how well laptops help learning. This is an honest article that makes it very clear that using laptops might not after all, be such a good idea for all the subjects since an essay that is word processed might not be 'fluid enough' and thus a better option would be to put pen to paper! Moreover, the effective use of a laptop will also be dependent on the student's familiarity with the machine and the software. Economic status is also a limiting factor because, students have used laptops from birth (pun intended) will be more proficient in its use than those who have started relatively late and probably have even shared a laptop with others. We have gone beyond power point and Microsoft word. Fortunately enough, we need not be worried enough that we are the only ones facing problems with the integration of technology in teaching since similar issues since they have been observed in the United States too!
