Routine instead of „innovations effect“
• Evangelisch Stiftische Gymnasium Gütersloh (ESG) - 9 years of laptop use
• Lycée Aline Mayrisch Luxembourg (LAML) 1500 computers – 6 years of laptop use
2006/2007• Online survey
classes 8-10 (teacher, students, parents)
• Interviews• Visiting 60 lessons
(recorded on video)
• Workshop participants of all groups (teacher, students, parents, head of the school)
Former studies of these schools (2001/2003) can be compared with

Laptop use in school – the next step?
• Which methods have persisted?
• How time consuming is lesson preparation once a routine is established? - How great is the reuseability of lesson preparaion?
• Is laptop use in school helpful for the requirements in the future?

Advantages of using laptops
• Enhances the educational change process [1]
• More variable length of time and increased frequency of use
• Gives rise to methodological diversity. Better level differentiation is possible.
• W-LAN enables any-time, anywhere computing leading to more flexible organisation of schoolwork in classes or school building (different rooms, leads to more self-organized working/learning)
• Key competence: computer and internet literacy will be learned easily [2]
• Increased pupil motivation

Does laptop use really prepare the pupils for the future?

Folie Nr 13
Change raises problems
• frustration with technical problems,
• insufficient media competencies among the teachers,
• teachers are required to make an additional effort to plan the lessons at the introductory period (“no time left” for preparing your lessons),
• demotivated
– due to the lack of interest among colleagues and of the school director,
– because of a lack of continuity in the school,
– resistance of colleagues who refuse computer or laptop use.
But how can this necessary change be effectuated?
If you deliver a bunch of hardware to the schools, a lot of new problems will emerge.

What are good leadership instruments to promote this change process?
• laptop-steering-group– Supports the teachers at planning the lessons especially
at the introductory period– The Head of the school should have a strong influence
on the subject groups– Teacher training in schools (organized by the laptop-
steering-group)• Support-service in the school building (to minimize the
downtimes if ones laptop is broken)
• Laptop-curriculum according to the school profile
• School leader are interested and have a look at the presentation of the results of the classroom work
• Continuity of using laptops (systemising contents, rules, processes)

Questions to discuss
Computers have been used since 20 years in schools, but still are not implemented well.
• Do you think it is a good idea that children get their own school laptop?
• Do you think we will have a change to laptop-hardware? Or will that change fail due to lack of money or will the teachers be resistant to the idea?
• Do you think the change in the hardware concept will come along with a change in the educational concept? Will ideas like constructivism achieve more popularity?

What has changed after all the years
• The rules for laptop use are revised. Better fitting to the workflow.
• systemising contents, processes (teaching and technical support)
• More teachers are teaching laptop classes
• Cooperation of the teachers is still very good
• Laptopcurriculum concerted to the school profile
• Allow to write tests on their laptop (D, M, E)
• At the 10th grade they have no paper file anymore everything is written in the laptop
