Classroom of the Future?

The York Dispatch reports that the Red Lion Area School District in Pennsylvania is apply for a grant to create what it calls the Classroom of the Future.

The approach doesn't seem revolutionary - laptops for every desk for social studies, math, science and English.

Yet the principal, Charlie Humberd reports that other high schools in the district with a similar program have experienced several key results that any school would want:

• Increased attendance
• Lower drop out rate
• Fewer classroom disturbances
• More student engagement in the school
  

If it turns out that this Classroom of the Future is effective contributor to the above results, then three cheers for it, revolutionary or not!
