Ballarat Clarendon College - Laptop Computer Program

Laptop Computer Program

In 1995, Ballarat Clarendon College started a laptop computer program.

Students starting Year 7 in 1995 were required to lease or buy a laptop from the school's provider, Computelec; the school later expanded this program to include students from Year 5.

Students are required to have a supplied laptop computer until Year 9, after which they are permitted to bring any laptop of their choice.

Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or program:

    The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.
    Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)

    Since the last one in a graveyard is believed to be the next one fated to die, funerals often end in a mad scramble.
