Microsoft Building the Future for Your Children.

One of the aspects of Microsoft that should come as no surprise is that the company plans ahead not just next year’s product launches, but decades in advance, in terms of the evolution of its technology. Not limited to its own software, this strategy is an integral part of how the company is tackling problems faced by education systems worldwide. The Redmond giant is currently involved in an initiative designed to orchestrate and catalyze a deep transformation of teaching, learning and assessment of skills.

I always wish that schools would adopt tablet PCs instead of paper. If the tablets were hooked up to the school's network, students could find worksheets and such and hand them in digitally. I mean, schools could just provide tablet PCs. If some company makes a decent tablet that is at least under $100, Schools could just add that to the enrollment fee and provide them to students. Therefor, all students have the same tablet PC.
