Last summer, a truck arrived at Freeport Middle School in Freeport, Maine, and unloaded more than 130 laptops--one for every seventh-grade teacher and student. What had seemed to be an unlikely pipe dream months before suddenly was a reality. The seventh-grade teachers were eager to get involved in this project, even though they were not sure how this would all work out. The ready availability of technology has resulted in a significant transformation of the teaching and learning that is taking place. There is the changed atmosphere within classrooms, one of new excitement and curiosity for teachers and students, as well as a strong level of collaboration evolving within and between both groups. They have also experienced reduced absenteeism and discipline issues during this period. Overall, the laptops have made a huge, positive impact on the learning environment at Freeport Middle School, with users hard-pressed to imagine learning without on-demand technology.
