Boy is a tool-using animal

S (the dyspraxic one) came home from school today with his brand-new Alphasmart , which school has acquired for him. This is a laptop-style word processing machine, that he will be able to carry around with him, take notes in class and do his homework on. It can link into a printer or a PC via a USB and will revolutionise his ability to keep up with his classmates and produce legible work.

Neo

It’s very cool.

    Great news it will really help him - plus it gives him a cool new ‘laptop’ to impress the girls!

    One of my students has one but it’s really NOISY if they are typing right in front of you! We compromised and she sits in the front row but at the side.
