It is true that this is an innovative education method to use a laptop during class. Personally, however, I think that 1:1 laptop program does not helps students understanding economics. Besides all concerns about cost and possibility to drop/break the laptop, there are some limitations in learning with laptop. Even though interactive textbook, or online textbook, is available, it is quite time-taking and difficult to take additional notes ‘from’ online textbook. Handwritten or typed notes are definitely required since they are helpful when students review for quiz or exam.
