Does Technology Hurt?

[NussieT]

The school district I've been working with has kids on computers in the first grade. Some of the grade schools have the kids using tablets.

A good friend is the IT teacher at the high school. He says they start teaching the basics in grade 1. All high school students starting next fall will require a laptop or tablet to take notes. The school is being set up to have wifi and an email server so each teacher can email work that needs to be done.
If the program works well with the high school students it will be integrated to the middle school students as well.
