| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| The board of Florida\'s Miami-Dade County school district on Wednesday unanimously approved a $63 million plan to lease as many as 150,000 digital computing devices for students, part of a far-reaching effort to upgrade the 354,000-student system\'s technological capabilities. The goal is to ensure that by 2015, all Miami-Dade students have access to a laptop or tablet—and that the new devices are all connected to digital curricular content and a high-powered new technology infrastructure. \"I think this will be revolutionary,\" said Perla Tabares Hantman, the board\'s chair, after the vote. |
