The scene that follows repeats itself all too often in places around the world as so many schools have been wired and equipped without careful thought. Not much has changed. The superintendent and board president are wandering the halls of Millennium Elementary School with the principal. They are looking for signs that their investment in network technology has paid off. In September, each classroom was equipped with three computers tied to the district network.
Millennium is a wired school.
The principal has been around long enough to recognize more than disbelief in her voice. I told them not to launch anything out of the ordinary. I said that you would want to see a typical Wednesday afternoon. The superintendent stops walking and turns to face him directly. In one room, we saw several students typing final drafts of papers from their handwritten work.
