69´«Ã½ in 22 New Hampshire towns will be flush with laptop computers, digital cameras and other technology thanks to federal stimulus money.

The Concord Monitor says schools across the state were awarded a total of $3.2 million through the federal , which was a part of the economic stimulus package.

State education technology consultant Cathy Higgins says the state is set to disburse the money.

She says the the grants are a huge shot in the arm for the districts that got the awards.
