PC makers bullish on school technology - Chris Cobbs, Orlando Sentinel
Five years ago, there was only one computer for every 10 students in American classrooms in grades K-12. The ratio has improved -- it's now 1 to 5 -- but education technology is still an unsaturated market, with room for growth and investment, said Diana Richie, manager of Hewlett-Packard's K-12 marketing. "It's a relatively immature market," she said. "At most businesses, nearly every employee has access to a PC, but that's not the case in education." Richie was among the 10,000 educators and technology experts attending this week's 24th annual Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC).
