I pulled this from a general technology in Education debate on Slashdot.
This is what I had in mind in a previous post on the Lowtech Access Centre In Sheffield
Our school is a recycling center for companies who donate their P-IIs and P-IIIs by the hundreds! We have over 20 labs for a school of 1800. We use DANA Palm devices for english classes. We allow students to bring in their laptops & PDAs from home. We loan out computers for kids to take home (we have a very diverse school). We are a Microsoft Academy, a RedHat Academy, a Microsoft MSDNAA, Microsoft FreshStart Program, and a CompTIA school… with both VUE & Certiport testing centers. So lots of kids get certified, lots get summer and afterschool IT Internships, and lots get to take multiple computer classes (1475 of our kids take at least ONE full time computer class in a lab daily)
