The following are what I believe are the rights of all student to have with regards to using technology as an educational tool, written as a student to their teacher: 1) I have the right to use my own technology at school.

The LEO business computer: 6,000 valves, 2KB memory, one happy birthday (video)

LEO was your classic room-filling clunkfest, built by British food manufacturer Lyons to help process its payroll and accounts. It was born at a time when the advancements made at Bletchley Park were still top secret, and when -- according to a 1954 issue of the Economist -- there were still people who did not believe in the "desirability of introducing anything as esoteric as electronics into business routine."

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to talk with the co-founders of sCoolWork, Alex Dayan and Sachar Tal, about their service and how it might help students come better writers. Earlier today, I had the opportunity to talk with the co-founders of sCoolWork , Alex Dayan and Shachar Tal , about their service and how it might help students come better writers. Normally, I do not specifically write about websites or services because that type of situation has caused trouble for in the past.

In interest of full disclosure, please know that they have offered me no special access to the website, and that I am only currently logged in under the free account while the service is still in beta.
