> So the issue should not be equity of access. The focus needs to be on

And from the same EdTech Digest:

> *Cases on Innovations in Educational Marketing: Transnational and
> Technological Strategies*
>
> Growing global competition for quality education, technology and
> collaboration is playing a paramount role in redefining and
re-strategizing
> institutions to achieve a competitive advantageous international position.
> Educational institutions need to reorient their approach in a highly
> aggressive and demanding environment which is fraught with numerous
> educational programs with international campuses and virtual learning
> spaces. These institutions are thus emerging as educational corporate
> entities with a bouquet of academic programs as products endeavoring to
> augment their presence world wide with the innovative technological and
> transnational strategies. Hence, the future is for these organizations
which
> possess differentiated and technologically innovative educational programs
> along with distinctive support services.
>
> This book will present a collection of cases on innovations in the field
of
> educational marketing from transnational and technological perspectives.
It
> will address the prominent issues of marketing, governing the entire

educational
> marketing approaches for quality centered international education; and

In the field of Internet safety watch out for law enforcement and
organizations funded by DOJ. In other areas, watch out for marketers who are
trying to convince your administration that without all of those expensive
computers they are behind.

Oh and BTW, look here: http://newbay.ebookhost.net/k12/intel/3/

In this ebook - sponsored by a tech company (whowouldathought) - is a report
the aforementioned Texas 1:1 laptop program where the computers were used in
