Some suggestions:
1. To replace existing media e.g chalkboard, the overhead, video projector, slide projects (can do all in one).
2. To enable instructor to face the class while showing visuals or while entering information on the computer (and projecting this information onto the screen for the class to see).
3. Unlike the large and cumbersome desktop computer, the laptop does not form a large, physical barrier between the instructor and the students (thus easier for instructor and students to see each other).
4. Easy for the instructor to move the computer depending on the location of outlets, or on the way in which the laptop is to be used in class (e.g. on podium, on instructor's lap during a round table discussion).
5. Easy for students to use (e.g. to assist the instructor by taking notes on a discussion; for students to project work they have created in or out of class).
6. Ongoing record of class (as opposed to erasing what is on the board). This record can then be posted onto the class web page or e-mailed to students via the class alias.
7. To integrate the Internet "live" in the class (e.g. to show web sites relating to the day's topic; to refer to the course web-based discussion).
