Texas High School Gets iBooks

Posted by pudge on from the i-am-movin-me-to-texas dept.

bigjnsa500 writes "Starting in December, high school teachers and students in the sleepy south Texas town of Pleasanton will be receiving Apple iBook wireless laptops. The school has installed wireless access points throughout the campus, including classroom buildings, the shop areas, gym, field house and press box at the football stadium. It will be first high school campus in South Texas to go high-tech." Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't that $2.2m over four years be better spent on books and teachers?

    Especially since being a Texas HS means their football stadium already seats 10,000+ and has astroturf. No need to upgrade that!
