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 computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.
    Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)

    Hast ever ben in Omaha
    Where rolls the dark Missouri down,
    Where four strong horses scarce can draw
    An empty wagon through the town?
    Where sand is blown from every mound
    To fill your eyes and ears and throat;
    Where all the steamboats are aground,
    And all the houses are afloat?...
    If not, take heed to what I say,
    You’ll find it just as I have found it;
    And if it lies upon your way
    For God’s sake, reader, go around it!
    —For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
