Paper Abstract:
|
The reduction in the cost of laptops has increased their use and they have become a real tool in the teaching and learning
process, making possible the development of true life-long learning abilities in young people. The young people of today
have grown up with advanced technologies and spend a large part of their time using them. This fact allowed us to carry
out a pilot study with laptops connected to the Internet, one-to-one, with students of Secondary School. This study took
place in the third term of 2005/2006, and data collection was done by questionnaires, interview and log book. The results
showed a positive impact of the laptops in relation to motivation, group work, research and the interaction online.
However, some pupils said that the laptop is a tool which provide a high level of disturbance. |
