Maine iBook Program Attracts Author Stephen King

According to this MaineToday.com article sent by Dana Baggett, author Stephen King offered to set up a web page to teach writing to seventh graders using their iBooks. From the article,

"If best-selling author Stephen King has his way, the Maine laptop initiative could have one more benefit next year: His writing instruction."

"King told a group of Freeport Middle School seventh-graders Tuesday that he would like to set up an interactive, Internet-based system through which he could teach writing to students."

Here's a Maine Public Radio audio report. Unfortunately, it requires Windows Media Player for the Mac but we couldn't get it to work with the just-released Mac OS X 10.2.2.
