Our district has gone to chromebooks. Not perfect, but better than nothing- and we can do a lot with the google drive. I like it because I can edit papers while students are writing- and they can see me editing. And I can share files with the students- so if I write an example for them, or a first paragraph for them to build on, it's right there. On top of that we can search everything we are curious about. My kids have been using their smart phones for a few years now to do that- but it's nice when everyone can search. So if something comes up- whether it's a disease, or a flower, or a historical allusion - we look it up. We learn so much more that way. It's a powerful, profound and interesting way to learn. Though my husband says it is personality dependent- and he doesn't think people who aren't natively curious, charismatic and comfortable with change, could do it. I don't know about that. I'd say it's worth a try.
