Good survey article with many examples describing the trend toward portable computing devices (such as Palms or laptops) being deployed in U.S. schools. The article contains the obligatory cautionary note from an uninformed sceptic ("Giving kids laptops is not the place to start") but this is overwhelmed by stories of programs and experiences using the new technology. Take home: "About 15 percent of school districts nationwide have some kind of laptop initiative, according to technology consultant Sol Rockman."
