Wireless in Schools
An article in GlobeandMail.com looks at schools that have installed building-wide wireless systems. Usually part of a “ubiquitous computing” initiative, the wireless systems allow students to access the school network or Internet from anyplace in the school. Some critics still have questions about whether or not the use of Internet resources improves student learning, but then again I don’t know of much research that proves that the use of books improves student learning, either.
