Watch out folks, this is where schools will go. We got notice in a school newsletter of them investing in this.

How terrible, they will light up all the kids, even young ones. I bet most parents don't allow young kids to be lit up w wi-fi.

 I may have to take my son out of school or move. I sent in the non consent note. They're answer to his feeling sensations in classrooms is to not use a laptop & send to the library.

Exploring how the iPod Touch can be used to enhance effective teaching
and learning. The last several years have seen an explosion in the
amount of young people playing video games as well as the number of
children and adolescents using mobile handheld technologies, such as
portable music players, gaming platforms, and smart phones. As school
systems struggle with how best to deal with this cultural and
technological shift, it is highly likely that the technology will
continue to progress

towards more powerful, wireless handheld computers
that can deliver high quality, multimedia, computer processing power.
Viewing this phenomenon as neither a panacea nor a plague, the iLearn
team is exploring if and how these technologies can be leveraged for
enhanced learning.
