Independent Evaluation
Click to read The pilot laptop program,
sponsored jointly by Microsoft Corporation and Toshiba America
The pilot laptop program, sponsored jointly by Microsoft Corporation and Toshiba
America, seeks to facilitate "anytime, anywhere" learning by helping schools
acquire laptop computers and Microsoft Office software tools for every student.
The pilot year implementation involved 26 sites, including both private schools
and public school districts, for a total of 53 elementary, middle, and high
schools. Participants ranged from schools with no previous computer experience
to some of the most technologically advanced schools in the country.

A Project for
Anytime Anywhere Learning by Microsoft Corporation
Notebooks for Schools by Toshiba America Information Systems
In the Fall of 1996, Microsoft Corporation and Toshiba America Information
Systems began a Laptop Pilot Program at 29 "pioneer" school sites across the
United States. Participating students acquired and regularly used Toshiba
notebook computers loaded with Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office
software. The pilot program was designed to demonstrate that providing every
student within a classroom with access to "real world" business tools would
produce substantial educational benefits by supporting learning anytime and
anywhere.
