<p>do you guys use laptop at sch?</p>
<p>No, but I do at home.</p>
<p>I don't even know if they allow it in class, but this one guy used one in my precalc class and all he did was surf the net all period.</p>
<p>Yes, we got a grant to buy 60 laptops per year... I swear just to make me (the de facto computer technician) crazy. 1 GB of junk with disk cleanup! -_- </p>
<p>I bring my own which I've financed because I have so many online classes.</p>
<p>During finals when we did nothing, I brought it. Played San Andreas and Max Payne 2 during Biology with friends.</p>
<p>Attend a school with a laptop program. Have had a school-required laptop since 6th grade. Notes taken on the laptop, download some texts, occasionally take tests, etc. Laptop repair with loaners on campus.</p>
<p>No, my school doesn't even allow us to take cell phones or iPods into the building, so I doubt they'd let me bring a laptop.</p>
<p>I've tried it, but I like writing notes better. It's more creative and I remember things more when I have, say, compare and contrast type of notes written down on opposite sides of the page.</p>
<p>My school has a few sets of laptops. If the teacher wants their students to use it for something, they can request to borrow it for the period. My AP Chemistry teacher usually request the set of laptops for our class to use to write lab reports and such.</p>
<p>We have several 'mobile lab' carts, one set for each wing of the school, and teachers check them out when we do computer projects and research.
They're a pain, though, since I do a lot of the tech help for the school. At least some of our new ones are <em>really</em> nice, makes me jealous :)</p>
<p>I would bring my laptop to school and use it all the time for classes, but I would be perceived as a geek.</p>
<p>geek = no girls</p>
<p>sad reality</p>
<p>I think my school only lets us bring our own if we have severe handwriting problems or other issues. But we have so many computers in the library, several laptop carts, and a lot of the science classrooms now have laptops for lab data.</p>
<p>My school has a few sets of laptops that teachers can check out if they need them for class, but students aren't allowed to bring their own.</p>
<p>Every student in my school is given a laptop to use for the year . . . boarding school :).
At my junior high we used laptops a lot.</p>
<p>No, but like sberlin, a few teachers share a cartload of laptops among themselves.</p>
<p>srgirl, I would fake a severe handwriting disorder just to use laptops :D</p>
<p>My school only has desktops except a couple of iMacs and MacBook Pros for the yearbook department. We do have a cartload of laptops but they run Windows 95 and their pretty cheap( they only have 256 MB of Ram, a 10GB Hard Drive, No Wireless internet, Etc.)</p>
<p>My school was a 'laptop school.' Students in grades 6th and up bought their own, and you had to bring them everyday. You could get into trouble if you didn't bring it to class and you didn't have a loaner from the tech office. Computer integration was also fairly big for the pre-k'ers to 5th grade.
Heh. Even my calc teacher sent us typed-up notes. I loved it.</p>
<p>I would much prefer if my school did allow us to bring laptops, but my school is actually not nearly as technologically advanced as many schools. We have no SMART boards, so most of the teachers just use chalkboards, whiteboards (not common), or overhead projectors. The library also has computers that run on Windows 98 First Edition. Then there are really strict rules about bringing CDs, flash drives, and the like (as in, they're not allowed). The tech coordinator is really paranoid about getting viruses.</p>
<p>Technically we're not allowed to bring them, but no one enforced that rule, just as they don't enforce the ban on mp3 players, cell phones, and other electronics. I have brought my laptop on several occasions for presentations, but that's about it. It's not necessary any other time, especially since I don't take notes. I couldn't imagine pulling out a laptop in the middle of class.</p>
<p>My school has a bunch of mac laptop carts and a few with dell carts, so some teachers will request them occasionally for online tests or other projects. My school is pretty technically loaded (it is partially a tech magnet) but most of the stuff isn't used to the greatest extent that it could be.</p>
<p>I brought my Macbook to class several times this year for projects or to use in creative writing class. It was a whole lot easier to just type my current assignment and print it. It came especially in handy one day when I forgot something was due. I hijacked my English teacher printer and got the thing turned in on time. :)</p>
