According to a recent article in the Arizona Daily Star, Empire High School in Vail, Arizona will soon become the state’s first all-wireless, all-laptop public school. The laptops will entirely replace paper textbooks. Traditional lesson plans will be built around online articles and electronic reference material. Adminstrators are betting that this flexible teacher-driven curriculum will inspire both students and teachers.

Calvin Baker, superintendent of Vail Unified School District, said the move to electronic materials gets teachers away from the habit of simply marching through a textbook each year.

Educators also believe the initiative will improve learning, engage tech-saavy students, and better prepare them for future careers.
