$100 Laptop - $50 Teachermate March 13, 2008

Innovations for learning has a new ‘laptop’ called the Teachermate. It is intended for the kindergarten through 2nd grade set. I don’t know much of what it can do, but there is a CNET News article about it. According to the article, it will show up in Chicago Public Schools first, with New York, Detroit, New Orleans, San Antonio, Phoenix, and Denver set to get the little ‘laptops’. I’d like to know where in Denver these will be appearing, since I work for the Denver Public Schools, and this is the first I’ve heard of it. If you know anything more about the Teachermate, let us all know about them.
I reviewed it on Teach42… twice. Once based on the information online, and once based on a hands on demo and interview with the creator. You can find both at Teach42.com
