On November 2, 2007 there was a post about why go wireless? In my mind, it makes so much sense to go wireless for the simple fact that it's easier and everybody can use it. Though, in a school setting, having "everybody" using it may not be the greatest idea in the world for safety reasons and the immaturity level that there is in grade school.

There are so many opportunities though that are available by using wireless. Right before I graduated, my school finally got internet access on the computers in the lab. I thought that was amazing, but that was only a little more than 3 years ago and already pretty much every school in America has internet/wireless connections. In the article, he states that the new generation of students primarily use the internet at their homes, so why not use it in class too? It's something majority of kids like to do, so why not incorporate it with classwork too?

Since technology on the rise everyday, it is important to have our students be some kind of literate when it comes to using the web as a source of education. As the world changes, computer is used more and more in everyday life. Students should be able to learn this information in school so they can be prepared for life after grade school. Even though most kids are already literate of computers before they get to the classroom, they still need to know of all the opportunities there are at just a click of a button.
