Two excerpts taken from the text book "Computers in Education", under the chapter entitled, Social, Legal, Ethical and Human Issues, state:
1) "Green County, North Carolina, with over 70% of the student population having free and reduced lunches, put wireless laptops in the hands of every middle and high school student in the county". 2) "Cobb County Georgia's 1 to 1 initiative will distribute over 17,000 laptops to students, the most comprehensive initiative in the country" ( Houghton, 2008, paragraph 8). link to article.
Thoughts:
Any combined thought with mention of the terms: 1) fair & equitable access to technology; 2) Parental responsibility; 3) Available resources for those with financial hardship?

I believe this is a great way of putting technology in the world. Currently, our district received a grant called the Vision 2020 which places a laptop in every teacher's hands and every student's hands in one campus. I think this is awesome to promote the integration and use of more technology in the classroom.
