Maine iBook Program Working Great

according to this Times record article. Some 18,000 iBooks were delivered in September to all of Maine's seventh-graders and their teachers in 239 Maine schools. An additional 18,000 will be delivered to those Maine students who enter seventh grade during the school year starting this coming Fall.

Notice how negative the interviewed IT guy is and how positive the interviewed teacher is--it is very telling. The object of the school experience is learning, of course, a fact lost on too many school administrators and non-teachers. [Dana Baggett]
