The transition from a world connected by wires and cables to a
world where wires are hardly needed to run a computer or access
the internet is still happening. Though it's not new, wireless
technology is slowly dominating the way that we use computers,
cell phones, and personal organizers. Schools are improved by
taking computer research and learning outside of a crowded computer
lab, and into a larger space. Lake Highland Preparatory School
just recently "went wireless" with their library, making
it possible for students to not just use the computer lab, but
rent out laptops so that students can research and write papers
in other areas of the library as well.
"Oh, they [the students] love it. It's reduced some of the
traffic and problems in the main computer lab. It's a full-time
job, though. You've got to make sure they're [the laptops] are
all charged for everyone. Other than that, they're fantastic."
This quote
comes from one of Lake Highland's two main librarians, Mrs. Butler.
She handles the laptops, renting them out to students for the
time allotment of one class period. A Lake Highland freshman,
Alex Barrett, feels the same way. "I think that wireless
technology will revolutionize the way that students can do work
on campus. It's really convenient to be able to sit anywhere in
the library and be able to type up and print a report, or search
the web for information."
