Bringing Wireless Learning to the Classroom

A new program to supply Apple laptops to 2,500 students in Pittsfield and North Adams (Massachusetts) middle schools as part of the Berkshire Wireless Learning Initiative was announced yesterday. The program is expected to cost $5.4 million over the next three years. The Berkshire Wireless Learning Initiative is modeled after a similar program begun in Maine in 2002 and credited with inspiring students to learn needed skills for the future workforce.
