Am I too old? I've never had a computer in class! 
I doubt kids take laptops to school nowadays either....
Well, I don't mean in high school, though my brother teaches high school, and the kids and teachers check out laptops from the school library to use in class for projects, mostly group work, so you only need 5 laptops or so in the classroom, or they may take turns. And they do have internet access and everything, but social networking sites are blocked. Of course that's easy to get around.
When I was in court reporting school, though, we all had to have laptops, it was a requirement, and they were always open and next to us, so what we were typing on the machine would come up on the screen. Of course, between dictations and during breaks, most of us were either online or playing solitaire... or majhong.
