Wireless Laptop Computer Technology
Program for Preschoolers
12/22/2004 01:33 AMLooking for the perfect Christmas gift for that hard to please 3 or 4
year old? Wireless laptops are at the top of the list for some 100
children at Louisville’s Plainview Pre-school. This fall, students
began using wireless laptops in one of the country’s first wireless
computer labs just for preschoolers! It is all part of the ground
breaking educational approaches at Plainview Pre-School designed to
boost preschooler’s brainpower and future college readiness at a cost
that won’t turn parents into scrooges. Students receive weekly
instruction in the school’s new wireless computer lab plus classroom
visits with an assortment of technological equipment including
laptops, digital cameras, recording devices, and listening centers.
According to the school officials, this gives children a chance to use
technology for real problem solving rather than just for entertainment
and since appropriate stimuli such as engaging hands-on activities
with computers enhances early brain development, the school believes
laptops are the perfect choice for a preschooler’s small hand size.
The cost for the program is included in the school's unique tuition
structure which school officials says offers a high quality program
and at a cost well below what many other preschool programs charge.

Michigan May Kill Student Laptop Program
Michigan May Kill Student Laptop Program
04/18/2005 02:28 PMIn the past we've written about various "laptops in schools" programs
-- mainly in Maine and Michigan where they've been seen as
succes
s stories in improving education and (most importantly) getting
kids excited to learn. While simply adding laptops to schools isn't
the answer -- a well designed program designed to really make use of
computers in schools to help kids learn and get them interested in
education is a good thing. However, a budget crunch in Michigan has
the state
think
ing about killing the program, meaning that some students would
have their laptops yanked away, and others may not be able to get
laptops at all. You have to wonder, though, if there's a compromise
solution. Certainly, some kids already have computers (desktop or
laptop) at home -- so perhaps there's a better way to set up the
program that focuses more on those kids whose families really can't
afford a laptop. Yes, this opens the program up to abuse -- but with
the country falling so far behind in education, it seems like a
program that seems to get kids excited about learning deserves a bit
of support.

06/24/2004 11:10 AMHigh school teachers: Handhelds, laptops improved grades:
This is a very cool thing in a city about 90 miles from Sioux Falls.
Yankton is not a big city (pop. 13,500), but they have a beautiful new high school and
are evidently doing good things with their tech budget.
Two pilot programs that gave hand-held computers and laptops to
students at Yankton High School resulted in higher grades, teachers at
the school say. [...]
The school gave 75 randomly selected students and four teachers
handheld computers called M130s last October. In addition, school
officials used grant money to purchase 30 laptop computers, which were
given to 25 students and four teachers.
Good for them. South Dakota rules.

Getting Kids To Program Old School Video
Games
04/06/2005 06:48 AMIt seems that every recent story about Atari has been about their
attempts (in their modern form -- quite different from the original
Atari) to
make
a killing on the nostalgia market, offering up classic games from
years back to today's adults -- either on computers or (increasingly)
on mobile phones. However, it appears that many feel the basic
concepts of old Atari videogames are still valuable for game designers
to learn -- resulting in a
competition to design new games for the Atari 2600. Of
course, there's one twist: the games needed to be created in 24 hours.
While the story is amusing to read, what it really does is remind
people that, despite all the amazing graphics found in today's game, a
game is still about
gameplay at its core -- which many of
today's game designers seem to forget.
