Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple News" @ 03:00 AM
"When Newton North High School in Newton, MA was rebuilt recently as a new, state of the art facility, a primary goal was to teach students information literacy using current technology. With a generous budget and the opportunity to start fresh, the result is a school with five Mac-based computing labs, over 130 new iMacs, and a library that rivals one found at many colleges."
This is an impressive setup. The article goes on to describe how they did it, as well as the challenges involved with some of the mixing and matching of old and new (500 total machines), as well as making it a learning experience for the students.
