A Maine initiative to supply 36,000 7th and 8th graders and teachers with iBooks yielded good results, Associated Press reports: “Students who use laptops are more engaged in learning and produce better-quality work, according to a report released Wednesday that gives high grades to Maine’s 2-year-old program. Based on thousands of responses from students and teachers, the report says most of Maine’s middle schools have successfully implemented the program, which started with seventh graders in 2002 and later expanded to include eighth graders.” [Feb 16]

The state of Maine has distinguished itself by offering iBooks to all public school seventh and eighth graders. The cost of the iBook program has been a political minefield especially as legislators in the cash-strapped state consider expanding it to public high schoolers. A new deal put forth by Apple may give that plan new hope, according to the Portland Press Herald: Apple is willing to rent laptops and defer their payments for a year.
