Abstract

"Cover Story" piece on Maine's laptop initiative, called the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI). Although the program is still developing, initial reactions from students and teachers are exceeding expectations. Henry Amoroso, a professor of literacy studies at the University of Southern Maine, envisions a time when students' multimedia presentations are published on the Web, creating what he calls a "living textbook." Health and safety concerns associated with repetitive use of laptops have yet to be seriously addressed.
