Positive Article on Laptops in Schools
Here's a nice article about laptop use at Del Mar middle school in Tiburon, CA (the bay area).
Del Mar English teacher Julie Jeffrey said the devices have changed her teaching methods."I'm not lecturing at them anymore," Jeffrey said, as her students worked on reports about discrimination and the civil rights movement. "This kind of assignment becomes fun for them; they're finding their own information, building it as they go along, instead of having me read it to them."
It's nice to see a more balanced piece after some of the negative stories published about laptop use lately. As you might guess, I'm in favor of it.
