My school jsut implenmented a school-wide wireless program. Every student in the school (6-12 grade) has their own laptop (same laptop provided by the school on a 3-year lease) and a wireless router in every single room, even the hallways. You can even get wireless internet outside and in the gym.
But there are ways to prevent cheating. Each laptop has Windows XP and 4 user names....Administrator (for the tech guys), Student (for school, limited access, no Windows Media Player, no IM), Home account (can login at school wit the home account, no restricitons on programs except changins setting ti scfew up the laptop) and Exam (on Examview, no other programs excent calculator, no IM, no internet, nothing, just Examview [a program to take tests])
Our school thought this up very cleverly, but it is nice to gon on AIM during school in boring classes. And going to informational websites, and doing research online is helpful.
