For all the wrangling and hand-wringing reported earlier concerning the State of Maine's contract with Apple to supply iBooks to thousaids of 7th and 8th grade students, this brief article from the Kennebec Journal Online makes one thing clear: the kids themselves are ecstatic! At one school, the introduction of the new iBooks practically caused a stampede: "A group of Maranacook Community Middle School seventh-graders scrambled to their classroom in record-breaking time Wednesday morning. The laptops had arrived.White Apple iBooks rested on each desk, with tags listing a student's name. The previous class, foreign language, is held at the other end of the building. Comments: The school in question is a demonstration site for the laptop program, so the administrators in charge are proceeding very cautiously. They still haven't decided whether to let students take their iBooks home, for example, and filtering software will be installed. Naturally we can't imagine not letting them take the iBooks home, but you never know what evil lurks in cyberspace, or the corner newstand, or on HBO, or in the boys' gym. Good luck, kids!
