November- Why Wireless?

Why Wireless, was a blog written by a teacher at a high school in Colorado. His principal had asked him to write an article for their newsletter eplaining why the school has decided to go wireless. In turn he posted his article in his blog. I think it is a great idea for high schools to go wireless and let students use their own personal computers. If kids can bring their own computers, then it opens up the school computers for students who don't have laptops. I think it is also a great idea because at most colleges students are now taking notes on their computer, so this gives the high school students extra practice.
I also agree that through this students can now access students in other schools. However, I do worry about the students using the internet for the wrong reason while at school. According to the blog the high school has "high expectations for our students, to educate them to behave ethically, responsibly and safely and then expect that they will do the right thing." I think going wireless will benefit the students in the long run and I don't think the parents or other teachers have anything to worry about. It will be good practice for the students, for their future.
