Do you think that in German schools you should work more with laptops and tablets?

We would be interested to see if you find it better if you train him Germans to work more with digital devices.

Fa

Absolutely not. Is not an advantage, but causes considerable costs. Quite apart from the fact that the majority of my teachers were absolutely overwhelmed with emails.

Ja

You have to modernize and if you do it right it can be much more environmentally friendly

gr

To what extent more environmentally friendly?

Gu

I think that tablets should be used more.

Positive:

-You can't really forget anything anymore.

-You don't have a heavy backpack because everything can be in one device.

Negative:

-Children could mess with it.

- If you forget your tablet / laptop, you have forgotten everything.

Therefore I would imagine that only limited programs can be accessed and everything else is blocked and could be activated for the class by the teacher. To do this, it would have to be programmed for a long time

Actually yes. However, learning with textbooks and workbooks in paper format is, in my opinion, less strenuous and also more intensive than learning only with digital files.

Do you remember things that you skim through in Wikipedia better or looking up in a book?

I have found that knowledge acquisition only in digital form is considerably more superficial.

If possible, laptop and PC should never go on strike. You are very dependent on working technology.

You don't have to buy new issues all the time, which saves you a lot of paper

Ar

Yes and no

If you covered the pros and cons, it would make more sense to leave it that way.

However, if you equip each class with laptops that belong to the school, it would make more sense that the laptops are not allowed to leave the table and everyone has their own identifier so that they can work from every class. (Laptops without an SSD don't like to be moved) Laptops in the school are updated and updated by the school admin, etc. The students can't install anything and the class internet is off unless the teacher wants to switch it on to avoid distractions.

If you have homework, just stick a USB stick and take it home.

Then you save yourself having to carry a bag.

You can do everything from home.

The problem remains with the Internet and the laptop at home.

You could issue an internet stick instead of a normal USB stick.
Where every IUSB has its own ID, which comes on the internet, if the stick is lost or the school is changed, you bill it and block access.

And for people who do not own a laptop privately, one could buy laptops through the school to get a volume discount which makes the laptops cheaper.

Then you have all the advantages, only the space problem in the class remains to ensure the distance to the screen.

Are you aware that computers, tablets and smartphones also use energy?

Ho

Yes and no. It has to be healthy. In my time, I had also had computer classes in the last three years of my school (I left school in 1998), and then in my training I also had computer classes. Sure, times have changed, but you shouldn't overdo it, also when it comes to costs. There's currently a lot of discussion in some circles because the parents are asked to pay there, since Apple products are usually used. Of course, there has to be a different solution, a) it doesn't necessarily have to be Apple and b) you can do it differently… App-technically, where you have a device, but which can be used by several, not everyone has to have their own device and it does not have to be used in every teaching subject. It's bad enough that there are a certain number (not all of course) of young people who can no longer write properly by hand.

Bo

But that doesn't harm the environment as much as if you fell trees to make paper

Fa

Felling trees to dig coal is much better. Weird flex but okay

gr

Not correct. Trees grow back. No rainforest is cleared for paper!

Bo

And does everyone get their electricity from a coal-fired power station?

Fa

Yes. Since there's only one power grid. The provider can tell what he wants. Nobody can guarantee you whether your energy comes from solar, nuclear or coal power.
