education

While I was reading 2cents worth I came across an interesting article. In Pennsylvania high schools plans to provide one laptop per student desk (cart of 25), a teacher laptop, a printer/ scanner, imaging software, productivity software, a web cam, an electronic whiteboard, a projector, up to three digital still cameras (per eligible school), up to five digital video cameras (per eligible school), Infrastructure (wireless network, servers), and technical support for the core classes. The state plans to spend $200 million dollars on this project. Some bad things about this, I think, is that the kids won't be able to write with a pen/pencil and paper. But they will be able to use their imagination more than someone could without a computer, and they will learn how to use a computer.
