Phyllis Roche,
First, I would like to have a big big greeting to you that have the 40th year of
teaching. That must be a very good experience and many students now are teachers!
(In Chinese, we have a proverb said "Having peaches all around your house", means
fruitful in your teaching career)
Using laptop and notebook computer is a very good idea to enhance the information
acquiring ability of students. We have 3 notebook computers for students to borrow.
Just as a start, and we have 3 more desktop PCs for them to use.
