In this article, the author reports how Maine has started to put laptops in the hands of all its middle school students. Today, more than half of Yarmouth, Maine's 435 students and all of its teachers have their own Apple iBooks as part of a statewide effort that has put laptops into the hands of every 7th and 8th grader in Maine. As computers were moved from labs to classrooms, Yarmouth introduced a new professional development program intended to bring educators up to speed without forcing a set of curriculum down their throats. Introduced two years ago, the more formal program counts toward professional development requirements and pay-scale calculations.
