The city of Philadelphia yesterday announced a deal with Microsoft to 
design and build a high-tech high school in Philadelphia.  Proposed 
features include tablet PCs and PDAs for all students, electronic test 
grading, campus-wide wireless connectivity and a complete online 
library.  While Microsoft has partnered with school districts before, this 
is the first-time the company will help design and build a school from the 
ground up.  There's a news article at
