Edina laptop pilot program takes off.
Now in the Edina middle school 150 students have been replacing pens and paper with new laptops. Under a pilot program with the school, they are testing to see if students become more inclined to learning new skills and adapting to different types of learning processes. By 2013 they are hoping to have more students technologically literate under the No Child Left Behind law.

I do believe this idea is a great one! In a perfect world there would be more ways available to students, not just in the middle schools but the high schools as well to become more self-sufficient in educating themselves. Not everyone is a hands-on learner, and at the same time not everyone would learn better on the computer. I feel that this program will become a lengthy trail-and-error process and will resort into at least half of the students continuing in-class lectures.
