We have a desktop computer at home. Isn’t that just as good?
While a desktop computer at home can certainly be an asset, the AAAL program is focused on the benefits students receive from having a personal information access tool which enables anytime anywhere learning. It’s not just about having access to a computer; it’s about having a computer available whenever you need it to assist your learning. AAAL parents frequently report that even in situations where there is a desktop computer at home, students use their laptop more and in different ways than they used the desktop computer before.
