Dear J.,

Because of the software features included on the laptops students are able to individually work on the computers' calculators and spreadsheet software. This helps the teacher to know exactly who needs help with what.

Homework is easier to hand in through email. Because each student has his or her own computer and email can be submitted from the laptop, teachers know when the emails arrived. We should also mention that this helps the environment as we "go green" with less paper, and it helps the school budget as we cut down on the use of paper and printer toner.

Ms. Sherrill.
