This device only exists as a product proposal developed by the Kaleidoscope product development consultancy (sponsors of The Green Grass website).
I don't exactly know where they got the $100 a unit and the pretty images show on their website ... However, if they can get somebody to buy the concept from them and actually produce and market the device, then I can't see how it could be a bad thing for schools ...
There are many initiatives out there to get schools on the "information super-highway", "e-age" (insert your own favourite cliché here). For example here in Australia the new Labor government has a pre-election promise to put computers to every classroom. Now if I was a company planning to produce these kinds of devices, I'd certainly be in Canberra doing a bit of lobbying and dropping a few proposals off.
There's money to be made there people...
