Our science department has our 17 laptops tied up almost everyday. If I want to use them it has to be scheduled well in advance and cant conflict with their lessons anyway. Why can one department create their curriculum around tech. but the others have to suffer.
What a great tool to have as a HS student going into college. They can collect school stuff and fun stuff in the same place too. I couldnt help but notice a game widget.
