Writing were much improved, and he was so much more organized than before. He’d devised a number of ways to use the laptop to help him with his studies. Rather than using index cards to organize the 50 resources needed for a history project, for example, he’d developed an Access database with hyperlinks. His database model was so useful, the history teacher had been using it on other projects ever since. “The kid did it,” Inman remembers. “He understood the goal and context, understood the tool, and brought it to the next level” (2004).
