The current school district in which I teach allows all students the opportunity to check out a laptop at the beginning of the school year. The school system has hotspots all over town set up with hours of operation extending well into the evenings. We have also partnered with businesses "keeping the lights on after dark" giving students free access to wifi and Internet for the purpose of completing homework as well as after-school programs. This school year, the students were even given the incentive to turn in the device to be fixed free of charge without penalty. As a teacher, this took away a lot of the added stress that was involved from the pressure that I felt fell upon me to extend due dates and come early before school and stay later after school to help students get caught up.
