My DD has had access to an alpha smart in primary although this was hidden in a cupboard and was not encouraged to use (was not allowed to use for Sat's) Since moving up to high school she has been given a netbook. I have only seen evidence of a few pieces of work been done on it. I have really been trying to encourage her to use it but she has now told me she can't get on with it.
Takes forever to switch on and load up.
Only has access to work on it
Key pad is too small (fine motor skills very poor)
She has to save on a memory stick and go to IT suite in breaks and lunch to print and she not like doing this.
At home she is using an I pad with a wireless keyboard that she says I great.
I think I need to ring school, any one got any experience on what is best to use in a school environment for instant use when she needs to.
