first met Bain on a visit to Brewster fifteen years ago to see their laptop
program. He didn't want to talk about laptops but about their pedagogy. I
met Weston a few years later at an Apple event in Tarrytown (he worked for
Apple then). Weston and a bunch of NYC IT folks worked closely together for
a few years to move Apple toward better support of student laptop programs.
Nothing came of it although we had an interesting meeting with Apple's VP
for Education which Weston arranged. What's curious, from a Deweyian
perspective, is that Bain and Weston are two of the more controlling people
I've met. Just can't see them buying into giving people much autonomy. :-)
