Curriculum Prompts New Concerns in L.A. iPad Plan

Benjamin Herald reports that an unfinished curriculum "Prompts New Concerns in Los Angeles iPad Plan ." At least one school board member is upset that the curriculum for a school-district-wide iPad deployment has still not been fully written by Pearson, and that cost projections for the three year contract are fuzzy.

It is suggested in the comments to the article that the best deployments of new technology usually are "phased-in" over time, as just "pulling a switch" to transition an organization to new software does not allow time for best practices to be developed and distributed.
