The presence of notebooks in the classroom is a fact that can help boost motivation in children, Microsoft revealed. The conclusion comes from a study commissioned by the Redmond company to educational researchers from the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, and which involved students from two schools in Slovakia participating in the “Notebook per Every Pupil” project sponsored by Microsoft and Lenovo. The report indicated that the simple use of laptops is sufficient to fuel a more positive attitude towards studying. No less than 88% of Trstena pupils and 40% of Bosany pupils considered that they improved since the project was first debuted. |
