REVIEW:
Wireless technology is making the use of laptops in the classroom an increasingly popular idea. This site was created by educators as an independent resource for teachers and administrators who are planning, implementing, or running a laptop program in their schools. Users will find helpful software reviews, stories from the field, the latest news and reports on the topic, and recommendations for implementation from those with experience. A .pdf file of First Year Laptop Program Reflections can be downloaded. It gives teachers and administrators an opportunity to look at the experiences of others and to put into perspective the pros and cons of a laptop program. Included is a list of laptops that have been recommended for students by various schools.
