& what is the theme of today's masquerade?
i've always had issues with my stereotyped identity as a girl in that i do not believe in being seen and not heard. while i am a compassionate person and of course just looove to brush my hair, i also operate on my own terms. i give a crap about what is going on in this world, and try and encourage others to open their eyes and do the same. at the same time, let me assure you that i do my darnedest to bring everyone a good time. i don't embarrass easily, so i suppose being "that girl" comes more naturally. i just try not to take myself too seriously, and generally feel that all one can do is laugh when life hands ya lemons. but if ur thirsty, sure, lemonade works too i suppose.
$100 laptops. the innovation continues.

I've seen this before. In the 1980s we heavily pushed technology into the workplace but the objective results weren't there to justify it all. It was considered "break even" and "keeping up with the Joneses" by many in the field. I suspect the same is true with education. A certain number of teachers will make little use of the stuff but the few who do will achieve spectacular results and their innovations will spread. The time between introduction and the appearance of high innovation environments is dictated by how functional the enclosing administrative rules are and how friendly they are to innovation. For education, I expect a very long time lag.
You may not have noted that the same people are looking to commercially sell $200 laptops to the rest of us. That's *very* close to (or perhaps it's at) an inflection point where the use of the technology will take off in new, wonderful, and unexpected ways. Interesting days.
