Texas School District Buys 4,600 Netbooks For Kids

In case you needed more convincing that netbooks are making big steps in schools, look no farther than this article from the Dallas News. It tells the story of the Irving school district in Dallas, which decided last May to buy 4600 new netbooks for students.

Be sure to check out the whole article here, as well as a few more of our own on the subject of netbooks in schools.
