An eighth-grader at Innovations Middle School, Christina Nguyen can’t remember the last time she cracked a textbook. She totes around a near empty backpack. In fact, it’s rare that she breaks out a pen or pencil. Netbooks rule this Clairemont campus, where mini-laptops are issued to every student for use at school and home. Christina takes most of her tests and reads books on her netbook. She uses it for homework assignments, projects and to communicate to teachers and classmates. “I use my netbook every day and every night — even on weekends,” said Christina, 14. “I can’t imagine going to school without it.”
