I think so, for education purposes only, unless the teacher is providing something like classroom laptops or tablets.
There's a lot of new apps that make note taking at student's pace easier and- actually, the best part of individual technology is that it allows the student to work at their own pace.
A downside could be that some students would slack off more easily, but wouldn't those same students be the ones not paying attention to the board, repeating questions, and holding the other students back?
