The school incorporates Macs as part of the curriculum, using them in the same way that the children use pencils, crayons, paste or any other tool, rather than studying them as some kind of isolated subject. When I interviewed the principal for this feature I found his enthusiasm contagious. The projects the children carry out as part of their curriculum — for example, making a DVD of each child’s first day at school — have multiple rewards.
