Well, it looks like it's over. I've lost. Next year, it's going to be Chromebooks because of their ease of management and cheap cost. Also, the school owns Google Docs accounts for all of the students, so that's probably a factor. I've tried to tell the IT person things about how the Chromebooks are limited and the web isn't full of rich applications yet (a direct quote from one of your blog posts), but he doesn't think that that is a factor. I actually sent a message straight to the Superintendent. I am a student at the top of the class. Most students just want something that can get them online really fast. They don't care what's under the hood or anything like that. They don't have ambitions that extend outside of what they are doing in their classes (okay, okay. Maybe he didn't say that exactly...). So I came here to say that it is likely over. I enjoyed the vision of Ubermix in the classroom while it lasted.
I just wanted to say; I figured that my fight was pointless from the start.
