The Dunham School and Apple are set to announce a new program Tuesday, in which every student and faculty member will get a fully configured MacBook. At the start of the 2009-10 school year, Apple will provide between 750 to 800 computers. Students will be assesed a technology fee to cover part of the costs. Phyllis Alexander, a spokeswoman for Dunham, says the move came from negotiations between Bobby Welch, the school’s headmaster, and Apple officials. “Students today are so tech savvy because of computers and the Internet that they’re learning differently,” Alexander says. “We need to shift and change to address the way they learn.” Beginning next school year, classes at Dunham will adapt to every student having a computer.
