This was the conclusion to which this text comes Money magazine.
The Charest government's announcement involves the combined purchase of a smart board and projector, which can be installed very close to the table for each classroom of Quebec. This material is equivalent to a unit amount of approximately $ 3 000. Added to this is buying a computer for each teacher, who may trade at about $ 500. Equip 43 000 62 000 classes and teachers under the program amount to a total bill of $ 160 million for Quebec.
The $ 500 laptop? We're talking about devices Lenovo and Dell. How reliable are these? Mystery and gumdrop. Which software will be equipped? When I do not think we ever to boast the Macintosh laptops in education, I have a feeling they will be equipped at a discount.
Moreover, I could not help but laugh when reading the following excerpt:
Some basic models of these tables can plug directly into the USB port of a computer, according to Nicolas Bégin, Vice-President iclass Canada, distributor ActivBoard tables. Installation does not represent a significant portion of acquisition costs.
It has indeed been at least one month between the delivery to our school a whiteboard and ask the latter. Lack of material resources used, notice required by engineers from the SC, it was a real saga.
