According to the story:
Detroit Public Schools announced Sept. 27 the creation of a “digital learning community” with technology supplied by Apple. The article describes the community as “a small high school that uses a technology rich environment to engage students and accelerate learning.”
The small high school, known as the Detroit Digital Learning Community High, will be open to a cross-section of students within the District. It will enroll some 250 ninth graders this school year and expand through 12th grade over the next three years.
The school will use wireless-enabled iBook G4s, iPods and software programs like iLife ’05.
