When I wrote that article you referenced I was really fed up with copy machines. I had no idea swearing them off would open so many non-paper possibilities. Please note edublogs magazine is on hiatus and you can find my current ramblings on education at <a href="http://www.dynamitelessonplan.com/" rel="nofollow">Dynamite Lesson Plan</a>. Great blog, I'll be back. Thank you for this article and for mentioning my name. When I wrote that article you referenced I was really fed up with copy machines.

Clare Guyatt’s ‘Why I Smile’ is a very touching digital story of her own life and how she wants to pass on her inspirations to her students. I believe that the technical production of her movie is also quite advanced and possibly the best in our class.

For two reasons :1) I would never have thought that any school would charge their students to access the Internet; 2) she was very well "that is just how it is -- isn't all schools the same." She was amazed that I was so shocked at school students having to pay. Lets hope this situation changes and I also agree -- wireless broadband with the ability for students to be able to tap their own devices into the network.
