Again the cynic in me is getting the best. As always this is a great idea opening up new forums for every student and an unbelieveable step forward for appropriate school budgeting. However, as this tred is really taking hold I can not help but to think of my high school. It was three million just for 1200 students, I graduated with 600+ alone with a freshman class peaking near the 1000 mark. In some districts the idea of having the utopian technology facets may be a dream away. We always speak about how is it going to be possible for every student to be given an outlet to the technology we speak of. I just don't see how it can be possible to supply everyone with the technology, I find it a mighty obstacle to overcome. With so many students there are bound to be people left behind in the wave of technological advances and I just do not see how it is possible to accomodate the few that inevitably will fall through the cracks.

I can definitly relate to what you are saying. For those that are 100% for technology in the classroom, all they could want is an outlet and laptop for every student in the school. I am not so sure I see this happening anytime soon. Where is the money and support going to come from?
Also, I went to an all girl High School where there were 3,000 students in total. Now get this: we had one computer lab with 15 computers, tops. In order to even use the computers, we had to sign a "sign in sheet" and if there was a wait, oh well! We had to wait. We had 4 computers in the library but they were strictly used for looking up books in the lirbary.
So based on my experience and how you are feeling about this issue, I agree that it might not be possible for every student in every school to have a computer for his/her own use.
