**Will laptops replace textbooks?**
No. While digital versions of some text books will be on the laptops or online, some books will remain available in paper form only. Students will learn from a variety of sources and develop critical literacy skills by considering multiple perspectives, bias and evidence. In addition to the information available on the laptops and online, teachers will use a variety of primary source materials in the curriculum.

**Do students really need laptops?**
Laptops offer the potential today for students to engage in the real work of mathematicians, scientists, composers, authors, engineers and filmmakers. We have an obligation to build upon the technological fluency that many students bring to us, and a further obligation to prepare students for the real world of work that is full of technology in almost every type of modern job. Teaching with student laptops will help our teachers meet these obligations.

**Won't students break, lose or steal their laptops?**
Students feel respected when they are entrusted with such important devices and have exceeded our expectations all over the world for the past 15 years since 1-to-1 programs began. Students are competent and worthy of our trust.
