Hi!
www.askt.org though we might be interested in this NPR broadcast:
Schools Reconsider Laptops as Educational Tools

It’s a good listen. Big names like Stanford’s Larry Cuban and MIT/Media Lab Negroponte arguing their cases. My take away is that eSATSi is on track. Our assumption that we are still in the launch phase of the eLearningi innovation cycle is valid. Evidenced by the immense amount of cut-and-try churning going on. Hopefully adopting and un-adopting hardware has just about run itsi course. Soon schools must take the eLearning systems approach which focuses on the teacher-student engagement with digital curriculum and teacher practice transformationi.
What do you think?
