Netbooks aim to give middle schoolers 'best education'

Fairfax School District's middle schoolers are wired and ready to learn, Superintendent Michael Coleman said.

About 760 of them each received a Netbook -- notebook computers -- Wednesday that they'll use inside and outside the classroom to read textbooks online, turn in homework and email questions to teachers any time of the day, among other things. Each Netbook comes with a wireless internet card for use anywhere.

And teachers will be able to converse with parents, and vice-versa.

They're being paid for mostly by Verizon and federal grant funds. Fairfax will pay about $50,000 of the cost annually, Coleman said.

By giving technology to a largely socioeconomically disadvantaged population of students and parents, they'll be able to more easily learn skills needed for today's technological world, Coleman said.

Fairfax -- a three-school, 2,000-student district in east Bakersfield -- has more than 90 percent of its students on free or reduced-priced lunch, state data show.
