| Pilot program gives ninth-graders laptops |
| Posted by: Justina Spencer |
| Tucked in a classroom on Lake Weir High's campus, a group of ninth-graders is just completing a pilot program that is considered the future of learning. In rolling cabinets, more than two dozen, 9-inch laptop computers sit in charging stations. Each one can hold every book a student needs for a school year, which means students in this freshman English class have been doing almost all their reading on a computer screen. Jaquan Newmones, next year's sophomore class president, said the laptop experiment has made a difference in how he views English class. |
