Nice find Chuck, I encourage people to click over to the NYT article you link to: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/13/education/mooresville-school-district-a-laptop-success-story.html?pagewanted=3&_r=2&hp To me, the most interesting element of all is the willingness to trust the students to have the motivation to make their own progress. The examples cited show how many of the insecurities teenagers have - and can get in the way of their education - can be handled through online tools.
