Hi all! Thought I'd share this with you:
Maine Expands Laptop Program
My husband and I both teach in middle school here in Maine and having the laptops has been wonderful. We are able to do so many things with the kids that would be completely impossible without the computers. Many of my tests and quizzes are completely based on a website, which the kids enjoy and the automatic grading helps me a lot. I will be traveling to 3 schools each week this coming school year to teach 8th graders, and the laptops will help me keep in touch with, give academic help, and grade, all of the students remotely MUCH easier.
Just thought I'd share this because this is one of the few things that I am proud of in our public education system here in Maine!
