We need a plan before we hand everyone a tool and say "Go make something with it." We need to try things out and develop competencies by experience. That's why we need to start with mobile tablet labs. One per grade level in each building, which would be 4 labs in each of the 3 buildings and if it's successful then add one each year. If our class sizes are set for no more than 30 students then 30 per cart.
