Speaker Vos Provides More Details on 1:1 Funding Proposal

WEMTA Legislative Update:

During a year-end interview with Wisconsin Eye, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos provided a few more details regarding his proposal to provide high school  freshmen with 1:1 learning devices. He says they have changed the proposal, which is included in the Assembly Republicans' Forward Agenda, to instead cover 1:1 technology.  Vos says this would allow schools to use the money in the way that is best for them and gave the examples of hiring instructors to teach computing, expanding broadband or buying laptops.

His full comments can be seen at the 14:06 minute mark of this video: http://www.wiseye.org/Video-Archive/Event-Detail/evhdid/11170
