Paul Elementary School was considered a model of one-to-one classroom technology in 2012, when it received a grant for student iPads. Now, the K-5 school in rural Minidoka County is a symbol of something else: the scramble to try to keep technology in student hands. This week, The Times-News in Twin Falls published an interesting update on the Paul iPad project. The school no longer has a contract with iSchool, the Park City, Utah, company that helped set up the iPad program. Paul missed out on the first round of technology pilot grants in 2013. Now, the Minidoka County School District is using supplemental levy money to help pay off the devices, now scattered among four schools/Kevin Richert, IdahoED NEWS. More here.

Question: I've often wondered what kind of a mess we'd be in had Tom Luna, Butch Otter & company had their way with implementation of the Luna Laws. Maybe I'm reaching here. Thoughts?
