Macs rule in university classrooms - Lost Remote TV Blog

I’m slightly offended by the negative comments regarding the Missouri School of Journalism’s deal with Apple Inc. Yes, the faculty all get Apple laptops every couple of years, and the newsrooms get free gadgets to test and use for journalism purposes… but honestly, is it such a bad thing to make sure your students have the tools and resources they need to succeed in an ever-more competitive journalism marketplace?

There are still hundreds of college students graduating from the Jschool’s print program, many of which don’t understand nor have a desire to learn how the web is going to impact their lives and their jobs… This is not a good thing.

The Missouri School of Journalism is considered the world’s first and finest school of journalism in the world, and they’re taking big steps to make sure their students are prepared… part of being prepared means they need the tools to be able to create journalism in new and exciting ways, is it their fault that Apple already has those solutions readily available and accessible? I think not.
