Timothy Snyder a Yale professor and author of “Why Laptops in Classrooms are Distracting America 's Future Workforce”, states his opinion on why laptops shouldn’t be allowed in the classroom.

He also gives thanks to wireless internet for giving the student easy access to various internet outlets. Instead of being in tune with their studies, the class is surfing the internet for the latest gossip.

At first glance, Natick High School may seem to showcase all of the ideals of 21st century, technology-based learning: A sparkling new building houses sleek Apple products that highly-trained teachers use to implement the latest in project-based digital learning and innovation. However, a closer examination also reveals that Natick High is home to many of the concept’s pitfalls as well.
