Reflections Chapter 3 - Most destop computers do the same things as mobil devices, so why do teachers need to use both?

Although both desktops an laptops have a lot of similarities there are also lots have different advantages. Laptops are more mobile, they can be taken to different locations around the school and classroom. With the use of wireless Internet students now have access to the Internet anywhere and anytime. Desktops maybe stationary but have increased durability because of it, laptops have batteries that can die and are easily broken if dropped. An advantage over laptops not mentioned in the book is their ability to be upgraded; laptops have very little that can be upgraded after manufacture. A classroom that uses both of these computer types has move ways to effectively manage use, some students could be using the laptops and other in groups could do drill and practice at a more easily shared desktop computer.
