That's Great. What about every kid in Detroit, Flint, or Chicago?
Solutions need to make sure we don't widen the digital divide.
- vondur 6y agoTons of schools are going to chrome books. In fact digital books are distributed this way and cheaper than physical books.
- indymike 6y agoChicago is a case study for Chromebooks (literally, on Google's marketing site for Chromebooks). They supply them to students. Detroit just got a donation of 51,000 chromebooks for students who's families could not afford them. Flint, Mi issued iPads and Chromebooks to students in August. Requiring a $120 calculator seems to be more of a digital divide issue than a $200 computer that can be used for every class.
