The Savvy Technologist

The laptops are coming

I placed the single largest order of my career today. Within hours of Apple announcing the new and improved iBooks we placed a nearly $670,000 order for 650 of them. Now we need to find a place to store them while we get them inventoried and imaged. Pretty exciting. Our second training session is coming up next week and I’m really fired up to get back together with these teachers and do some intense curriculum and technology work.

I’ve decided to use a blog as the main Web page for the project. I thought it would offer an ideal way to engage some of the one-to-one participants in telling their stories. If all goes as planned we’ll have some really interesting stories to tell.
