In my day, we thought calculators were neat

The
Maine Learning Technology Initiative
is an innovative program that equips every one of the state's public middle-school students with a laptop computer. This fall, more than 36,000 students will receive brand-new Apple iBooks pre-installed with
great software
.
We think the whole thing sounds terrific, so we're donating
Google Earth
and
SketchUp Pro
to Maine for installation on every public-school computer in the state. They accepted, and now it looks like Maine will be the first state in the US to have Google Earth, SketchUp Pro, and the
3D Warehouse
available to every student, teacher, librarian, and administrator who wants it.
Information about the SketchUp for Education program can be found
here
. Government agencies that would like to follow Maine's lead are welcome to drop us a line at education@sketchup.com.
