Brief article describing a pilot probject testing the use of wireless Tablet computers (and supporting infrastructure) in a York Region District School Board school. This being an article from IT Business, much of the text is devoted to the support offered by corporations to get the initiative off teh ground. It would be worth knowing in these articles what the return on investment is of this sort of demonstration style advertising, and how much of the corporations' expenses funding the pilot may be claimed as tax deducations (and which therefore represents not corporate support, but government or taxpayer support, for the project). This is not opposition to such initiatives, far from it, just a request for clarity in accounting and credit.
