The federal government, book publishers and
the technology industry are considering a large-scale effort to push
tablets into public schools, raising questions about hidden costs to
implement such a program.
Apple, Intel and McGraw Hill
representatives joined other technology and publishing heavy hitters to
meet with Federal Communications Commission chairman Julius Genachowski
and Education Secretary Arne Duncan last week to discuss a FCC report
indicating tablets can save $3 billion a year, garnering discussion
about most effective ways to introduce digital technology into the
emerging classroom.
