I saw this article a few days ago, and thought I'd share... Basically, the article discusses a Kansas City-area middle school that is experimenting with PDAs - as in, 600 PDAs (the school district spent about $180,000).
Their goal? To prepare their students for the 21st century! The article actually says this: "Many educators think that preparing students for the 21st century goes beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic - students must be technologically literate."
How cool is that? A public school actually teaching kids skills that they'll need TOMORROW - rather than skills they'd need today, or yesterday. I applaud them!
