Kansas School District & 2300 Palms
By Larry Hendrick | July 20, 2006
One side of me is thrilled with this type of news, and the other side is dumbfounded. All at the same time.
Thrilled that a school sees the benefit of the Palm technology for use in classrooms. Dumbfounded at the thought of handing Palms to kid and I wonder if they can at least fill out a job application with precision and expertise.
I guess, it comes down to priorities, and I don’t know the particulars about this school district. More information would be nice.
