I just wanted to see how to do this

I'm not sure I subscribe to the idea that if the "real world" uses laptops then we should too. Laptops are not difficult to use. It doesn't take them 4 years to learn how to use a laptop. We are also preparing them for the next step of their education, not just their future job (which we have no idea what that will look like).

I motion to have Darius officially join our committee

The argument that laptops teach students skills for later in life (ie college?) assumes that laptop use will persist in and through college in the future

What i find fascinating is the fact that teachers themselves have not embraced the mobility given by the iPad - some are still working with document camera.

I remember the time when we looked to tech to save the environment, what about now?

what about laptops that have a dual functionality (laptop and touch screen)

I really like the idea of iPads for freshpeople and moving towards laptops for juniors

We want to train students in how to properly use a laptop, since they will need these for college and beyond

This semester i asked students to design a poster for the RS 300 ethics class. Encouraged students to bring computers if they have laptops. Not the other side of the experience, I had similar work product from students on computer or on iPad. But, the students working on the computers were able to do work more efficiently in class. A few students had iPad Pro and they were able to make some excellent work too. Makes me wonder if screen size is part of the difference.

I hate chromebooks. I think we should be a 2:1 school. There are positives and negatives to both, hence why we need both. I see the only obstacle is to get buy in from the parents. we will have a large number of families that will need financial assistance. also the school told us that we should not make decisions based on money, so therefore what is the downside to both?

Taking notes on iPad is far more immersive for students...  using keyboard for notes tends to just be typing...

iPads can be a challenge for long papers that require research. Writing, Outlining, Researching, Citation management software, all these things are a little tougher on an iPad

iPads are amazing for annotating and diagramming sentences (great for language and math)

I worry that a laptop makes sense for some subjects, but not others. For instance, it has been a powerful tool to use Notability to write and draw for science classes, but my summer students doing the same content preferred to print out everything rather than use their laptops.

iPads work really well for worksheets and quick in-class reflections/assignments

1.) I like the idea of having only ipads for freshman and sophomore year and then having students bring ipads for junior and senior year. That way they can take their laptops to college and parents aren't buying two laptops in an 8 year span. I'm assuming that coding and high level research are happening mostly in the junior and senior year.
2.) I don't like the idea of removing ipads due to environmental concerns and the increase in electricity and paper usage.

iPads are outstanding for reading, handwritten assignments (i.e. worksheets for math or such), pdfs. Poor for typing, researching, creating presentations, most work is done significantly better on laptops.
