Mr.+Benedict's+Homeroom

Mr. Benedict's homeroom agrees with the other homerooms regarding the benefits of the 1:1 laptop idea. Specifically, we see great potential for increased collaboration, greater ease of access (both to computers and to assignments), greater organization, attration of potential new students, and reduction in paper waste. We also believe that because students already find technology more interesting, that they will be more motivated to learn if they have regular and reliable access to it. Mr. Benedict even cites himself as an example of an "old dog" who is willing to "learn new tricks". He has started a web site to list his lesson plans and to provide access to assignments for which he has digital copies.
