The number of high schools that have switched from computer labs to laptops has jumped to over 500 across the country in less than four years, says Albert Throckmorton, director of technology curriculum at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va. Episcopal started requiring freshmen to have laptops four years ago and will become a laptop-only institution this school year. The laptops help Episcopal students continue their education outside of the classroom. For example, students use digital probes in science classes to gather data in real time, which is then loaded into a spreadsheet and analyzed at home, says Throckmorton. Although schools that have implemented laptop requirements declare the move an educational success, asking parents and students to purchase $1,500 laptops is controversial in many cases. Critics are concerned that the laptop push will leave students from poorer families at a disadvantage. Schools are trying to address the cost issue by offering buy/lease options, used laptops, and financial aid. №¤ў¤ 6БPJ]БPJ+,XYє├EЦ√№¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ №■ 1Рh░╨/ ░р=!░'"░'#Ра$Ра%░ i8@ё 8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH <A@Є б< Default Paragraph Font<Z@Є< Plain TextCJOJQJ^JaJ    +,XYє├EЦ√■Ш0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААЪ0АА№№№■ЛТє∙├╩EKЦЩ■333333 )*+XYбвэя>?ЙК╒╓ !&'st╛┐  Z[деьэїЎ@AМО▐▀√√■  IUP(C:\My Documents\acpac\LAPTOP-ARTICLE.docIUPdC:\WINDOWS\Profiles\jrmcferr\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of LAPTOP-ARTICLE.asd @№0@  Unknown            GРЗ: Times New Roman5РАSymbol3&Р З: ArialGРА MS Mincho- 3  fg?5Р З: Courier New"ёИЁ╨hBIжBIж╚;IЖ╣"$Ёе└┤┤ББ202ГЁ  *From USA Today, Thursday, August 31, 2000:IUPIUPRoot Entry         └F└тЭHхt╩%└1Table             WordDocument        "SummaryInformation(    H■    ■   ¤           ■   ■                   ■                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   laptop-article$cbennett Mr. Christopher G.
