Some school districts are already trying new approaches. The Keller (Tex.) school district in January plans to start outfitting students with smartphones, which provide basic computing functions and can cost as little as $100 a year per student. Keller’s pilot will equip 55 students with smartphones featuring slide-out keyboards from Taiwanese vendor HTC, with data service supplied by Verizon Communications (VZ), according to Soloway, who’s working with the district on its plan. In February, Detroit’s University Preparatory Academy plans to start a similar smartphone test. “It’s all going to be through the phone. That’s where the opportunity is now,” says Soloway.
