The California junior college system had a lot more funding than the CSU system. My first two years of college were at JC. All the programming classes had a computer at every desk. I thought this made sense, it was a programming class after all. My first programming class after I transfered to CSU was done in a normal classroom with only a chalk board. The professor would write code in chalk on the board, and I would copy notes onto paper. It seemed dumb, but I learned a lot more in the chalk board classes than I did in the computer lab classes. I think technology in schools can be good, but it can very easily make things worse too. Right now education really wants to embrace technology, but I have a feeling that they will over embrace it and do stupid things like giving every student an ipad. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe wide spread adoption will allow for helpful innovation.
