So... what does everyone think of Philly and Microsoft's School of the Future? ABC just ran a story about it, apparently each student receives a Gateway laptop for use in the classroom and there are no text books (so I'm assuming they're all PDFs or E-Books of some sort). I was surprised that only 1500 applied, though. It was a lottery drawing to get in, but with the way school districts work I'm sure it was more of a "lottery." How do you think high school would have been if you had attended a technology oriented school?
Oh, and the whole thing is green. Solar panels and grass on the roof stuff, so it cuts down on operating costs.
