Recently I read a newspaper article in the Waterloo Courier that described a pilot program being implemented by the school district. Here is a link to the story: http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2008/09/21/news/metro/10623959.txt
According to the article "Officials propose installing 129 Promethean Activboards in district classrooms, libraries and administrative buildings at a total cost of $883,660. That cost would include equipment, installation and training".
In my opinion this proposal represents a giant step towards integrating interactive technology into schools serving a disadvantaged student population. Kudos to the Waterloo School District for taking an initial step in bridging the "digital divide".
