Seeing No Progress, Some Schools Drop Laptops
An article in the NY Times entitled Seeing No Progress, Some Schools Drop Laptops regarding Liverpool Central School District’s decision to pull the plug on their 1 to 1 laptop program has created quite a stir. It’s easy to see the flaws in the article. I won‘t do so here because it’s already been done by David Warlick, Stephen Downes, Justin Medved and many others. My concern is that in our world where decisions are made based on shallow analysis and thirty second sound bites, districts considering the merits of a 1 to 1 laptop program may use this article in their deliberations. That would be scandalous.
