I’ve been writing a lot about the local school district’s plans to arm every student with a laptop with the hope that it will enhance their education. I’ve previously covered similar efforts in other states and while working on this particular story, where parents and students had to attend orientation sessions before receiving their computers, I decided to put myself not in the place of students (who, were clearly excited) but their parents. I was really interested in what they must be thinking as they watch their children get equipped with the latest technology, what kinds of questions they might have.

Here’s my story and some more of my photos from that day.
