 * Research
 * When at school or working on projects, students can use their laptops or netbooks to do research using the Internet.
 * Google, Wikipedia, Ask.com, etc.
 * Note Taking
 * To save paper, students can take notes on their laptops or netbooks.
 * Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, etc.
 * Educational Sites
 * Students can use educational sites to work on project and/or research.
 * History, Math, Reading, English, almost any subject you can think of there is an educational site for.
 * Web Cams
 * Using connection to other devices students can use web cams to interact with each other to work on projects or ask people far away questions.
 * Skype, Oovoo, etc.
 * Connections To Other Devices
 * All of your other devices can be synced with your laptop so you would have yet another place that all of your content would be stored.
 * They are sometimes easier to edit certain projects on, so if you started something on one device and need to use a laptop, it would be there.
 * Fast and Easy
 * Teachers won't have to wait as long because it is faster to type notes than write them out by hand.
 * Teachers could read the words better for the work of some students if they type instead of hand write.
 * Teachers could cover more.
 * If students don't understand a lesson they could look up how to do it on the internet
 * Students could email their teacher if they are not at school.
 * And they could email them about any questions they have.
 * Taking Home
 * If students start something at school, they could finish it at home.
 * Projects and assignments could get done faster.
 * Transportation
 * Laptops and netbooks are small enough to fit in bags to carry around.
