== Intellectual development of pupils == |
|||
Irrespective of specific content and software a laptop appears to be likely to promote the intellectual development of pupils but what negative effects are conceivable? |

This is especially true for pupils without sufficient education ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_literacy media literacy]) or guidance to select appropriate content or software.
