The iBook is the Maine attraction
When former Governor Angus King first proposed placing an iBook in the hands of every seventh grader in the State of Maine, detractors wrote him off as a dreamer. Six months later, he's being regarded as a visionary, and the State-wide iBook initiative is being labeled a success. Tess Nacelewicz reports in Portland, Maine's Press Herald that "82.7 percent of the students said the laptops improved the quality of their work", among other positive findings. I've been following Maine's iBook program with great interest from the start. If it continues to be successful, an iBook in the hands of every student could end up being the blueprint for the true digital classroom of the future.
