Microsoft has helped design a futuristic school in W. Philadelphia.
Students use smart cards to register attendance, open their digital lockers and track calories they consume, they carry laptops, not books, and the entire campus has wireless Internet access. Teachers use interactive "smart boards" -- and use a learning process modeled on Microsoft's management techniques.
I had written this post a few weeks ago about my own concerns and hopes as my daughter got ready to go to high school after being home schooled all these years.
Thank you, Microsoft - as our kids join Generation G I am ok with us giving them a technology based advantage. I can only hope every school in the US is at that standard in 2-3 years.
