Prompted by lackluster reading scores, Duval County Public Schools (DCPS) in Jacksonville, Fla., is attempting to reach low-income students by turning students' televisions into learning centers.
Now, this could be a quite a positive change for low income families and a welcome opportunity for schools working on a shoestring budget. Everyone owns a TV, and even any school who can't afford investing in computers, can maybe use this as a step up onto the Technology train without having to get into the heavy cost of hardware, software and maintenance involved in your average Technology ware investment.
