Nex Mexico Gov's Program Will Provide Laptop Computers To 7th Graders
Governor Bill Richardson today announced his innovative new program, the Governors Laptop Learning Initiative, that will provide laptop computers to New Mexico 7th graders and their teachers. More than 700 students and 80 teachers will receive laptop computers in the first phase of the initiative, with the goal of providing computers to every 7th grader in the state. “Technology and innovation are key elements of New Mexico’s future, and this program will help engage our youth and encourage them to make positive decisions about their schoolwork and ultimately, their lives,” said Governor Richardson. “This initiative gives students and teachers critical tools and support to help create positive change and develop high expectations. The computers will not only contribute to exciting changes in the classroom, they can also be taken home so families participate in the learning experience as well.”
