Maybe we should just stick to spending more dollars on face time with teachers, rather than blow money on the latest passing tech fad. Tech sure hasn't done this reporter any favours it would seem... unless you count getting a media job while lacking basic English lateracy skills a positive effect of technology.	Paul.Cov (425)

1243020	2011-11-11 22:03:00	"Mobile devices are now part of the stationary requirements at some high-decile schools,” could simply reference the fact that kids are not allowed to use the tablets while moving, for health and safety reasons... :)	MrRSoul (16583)
