Stop the presses! AZ ed gets good press!

The NY Times has a good article about Vail putting wi-fi on a school bus.

. . . school officials mounted a mobile Internet router to bus No. 92’s sheet-metal frame, enabling students to surf the Web. The students call it the Internet Bus, and what began as a high-tech experiment has had an old-fashioned — and unexpected — result. Wi-Fi access has transformed what was often a boisterous bus ride into a rolling study hall, and behavioral problems have virtually disappeared.

Good story about a southern Arizona district that's taking innovative use of technology seriously.
