Do Laptop Students Differ from Cart Students in Their Writing Skills?
Results from Year 3 followed the same trend in writing-performance differences as observed in the first 2 years. The laptop students showed significant advantages over the cart students, although the differences were directionally lower than in Year 2. These findings suggest that students with 24/7 access to laptops have advantages over those who only use laptops during class, and even a greater advantage over students in classrooms limited to six or fewer computers shared by all students.
