This week I participated in a live session of EdTechTalk. The session featured Alex Ragone, Vinnie Vrotny, and Arvind Grover. The special guest they featured and talked to was Bill Stites, Director of Technology at The Montclair Kimberley Academy in New Jersey. Bill spoke in detail about how his school progressed over the last five years from hard wired internet to wireless. This switch inevitably led to faculty using laptops more and then students eventually brought in theirs. This transition led the school to buy-in to a one-to-one laptop program for all their students.
I want to keep this blog short and very open ended, so I pose a couple questions to everyone else, would you want your school to give every kid a laptop? Should all schools have a program like this?
