Wow this article sounds so interesting. I love that the college students were so determined to help out. Also, it is great what microsoft is doing in those schools. Are all of the computers donated or does the school board pay for all or part of them? I am just curious about how all the costs are covered. Also, I am glad that they are making the students appy to college. My guess is that many of those students would never think to apply to college because they think they could never get in. I really like this plan. Also, I had heard very breifly about Dell doing something similar, do you know anything about that?

I was really impressed as well on how students are getting engaged in the local k-12 schools in the area. I am not sure how much is donated or paid for, the article does not go in that far in detail. It basically said that they are providing financially for the school. I have not heard anything about dell doing similar actions, but it would not surprise that they would take the same actions as their competitors have already taken. But they can fight it out for customers, but all we care about as future teachers is that they are providing financially for the local schools. It is great to see, i will look out for updates with dell and will hope that you will do the same.
