| Why Wireless?
|
|
| With Mobility as one of the
three main components of the M3 grant, wireless was an appealing
networking choice. Not only is the equipment inexpensive to purchase,
it is also easy to set up. We also recognized many benefits for the
faculty and students at WSU and M3
partner
schools including the following: |
- Laptops result in better utilization of
technology resources--there are fewer computers gathering dust in the
back of the room.
-
Notebook computers are less obtrusive in
the classroom than traditional desktop computers. -
Technology is a tool for learning in
the classroom instead of a supplemental subject taught in a
lab. -
Students and teachers don’t waste time
transitioning back and forth to a lab.
|
 |
-
Teachers have all their classroom
resources on-hand. -
Laptops provide more flexibility for daily
computer use. -
Laptops mean no new furniture expenses,
space requirements, cabling or electrical needs. -
Our goal is to bring technology to the
students and provide all teachers with a way to integrate technology
into collaborative learning units. -
Laptops would allow
everyone in the
building to share the technology by making laptops available to anyone,
anywhere.
