Wireless Laptop Technology Integration in the Classroom

According to some teachers, the main problem of technical integration in the classroom is that the planning time, technical support, leadership support and ongoing training programs are progressive (Swan & Dixon 2006; GaDOE, 2008). Most teachers support the integration of new technologies available in the classroom, but some teachers do not. The main arguments and concerns of some teachers are that wireless laptop technology may be distracting for learners and their colleagues (Fried, 2008).

According to recent statistics, more than half of the schools have wireless networks and student laptops, and 98% of school classrooms have at least one computer. Today, the use and type of technology in the classroom grows exponentially from smart boards, smart phones, tablets to cloud computing, online learning, and many applications. From K - 12 to higher education, educational institutions have made significant progress in the use of technology in the classroom over the past two decades. Utilization of its strengths and evolution of the type of technology used shows that value-added resellers (VARs) and integrators can advance connected classes in various ways in cooperation with education.

Laptops are the latest teaching techniques in a series of innovative classrooms (Lengel, 2004b). Most of the initial work of integrating computer technology into the classroom was done in engineering, computer science, and mathematics (Lengel, 2004a), while students in the humanities and social sciences mainly focused on computers outside the classroom I used it. Recently, however, it has become more realistic to introduce this technology into the classroom of social science by developing inexpensive laptops and improving the availability of wireless networks.

Levine (2002) wrote that the real advantage of laptop technology in the classroom is the ability to create "two classrooms" in the classroom. When you close the laptop cover, the environment becomes a traditional classroom environment. As the lid goes up, the classroom will be a computer room, and Levine believes that the teaching can seamlessly move between the two environments, so that laptops can be most effective in improving learning efficiency I will. According to our experience, before social studies teaching has two environments, it is important that the wireless network can be widely used.
