By the time one takes into account that each iPad needs a physical keyboard just to make its screen usable, a cover of some kind to minimally protect it, and some kind of storage/recharging, the cost per student gets ridiculous - and that's all before a school district starts paying for some kind of digital curriculum … and digital management … and IT infrastructure … "the internets" doesn't count as a curriculum. The iOS environment is also very unfriendly to individual client management of all those iPads and iOS apps - so get ready to pay up for some kind of specialized solution for that, too
But hey - they're iPads…
bfd probably followed the LAUSD "an iPad for every student" brouhaha from a few years back with some interest. What a fustercluck that was.
