I just watched an updated version of "Shift Happens." Earlier this month Maine announced that the one-to-one laptop program is expanding to include all high school students. I'm very excited about the expansion of the program. Unfortunately, it seems that not all teachers and administrators are as excited as I am. I've already heard rumblings that some schools are considering not participating in the program. Perhaps those teachers and administrators should watch "Shift Happens" too.

What a shame that not all teachers are on board with this initiative. I think it comes down to the fact teachers are afraid of their shifting role in the classroom. I hope those schools that embrace this plan do so wisely. I have seen schools provide plenty of computers, but their AUP's are so strict that the computers are rendered useless. I know you will not let that happen at your school!
