School Committee support iPAD2s for freshmen

The School Committee voted unanimously Tuesday to begin the process of putting an iPAD2 into the hands of every freshman in the fall by earmarking $12,000 to get ninth grade teachers iPAD2s as well.

The School Department will take the money from the coming year’s budget.

?“One to one teaching/learning, that is, the classroom in which every student and teacher has a mobile learning technology device with access to the Internet - that is the direction in which education is moving. We want to begin the exploration of this environment of the future, using the iPad2,” Superintendent of Schools Maureen LaCroix said.

She explained that the iPad2 had been chosen over other options because it offers many more applications than any other currently available device, and it has a built in camera/movie camera, making it feasible to create short video projects.

LaCroix’ staff has looked at various devices over the past year, she said, and the iPad2 is unmatched for portability and ten hours of uninterrupted use before recharging is needed.

“The iPad2 has no moving parts to break, applications may be purchased at significant discounts in volume, it has access to FirstClass and Aspen, and applications can be safely installed by students and teachers,” she said.

“In our view, shifting technology is moving the view of students as consumers of information to the view of students as producers of knowledge, content and creative expression,” LaCroix said. “We think this approach will promote inquiry-based, problem-solving approaches to teaching and learning, and higher order thinking skills, as we support students a self-directed, creative problem-solvers.”

The plan LaCroix outlined would introduce the iPad2 to the incoming ninth grade at the high school in September this year, adding a grade each year. “We will start collecting data on how this process goes,”

LaCroix said in a later interview, “to understand what is happening as we go forward.”

The finances of introducing iPad2 will present challenges. To add iPad2 to grades 9 through 12 for all students will take an outlay of $720,000 over a four-year period if the devices are purchased outright, and? $744,000 over a six-year period if leased.

LaCroix noted that there might be sources of funds, such as the Bedford Education Foundation and state grants, to help with bringing the iPad2 to Bedford.

She is seeking money to buy enough devices to start training the 26 ninth grade teachers who will pilot the program in September,

The School Committee voted unanimously to support the program immediately with $12,000 from the current FY 12 budget to provide devices for the ninth grade teachers who will begin using them with students in September.

iPad Insurance and How the Future of the iPad in the School System is Just a Matter of Time

New users of the iPad have always asked "why didn't Apple put a camera on the iPad like what they did in the iPhone?" That may seem to be a very obvious question and if you don't ponder for a while and really try to see how deep the rabbit hole goes, you might judge these Apple engineers of not really being intelligent about the features they should have put in the iPad design. But on the contrary, it may just be the other side around. Just think about it for a sec. If the iPad were to have a camera, do you know of some institutions that would not allow cameras inside their premises? Like in an exclusive sports club or a gym, they usually don't allow cameras there. Certain businesses are prohibiting their employees from bringing their cameras with them to work as it may be used to take sensitive and classified images. And lastly, can you remember the recent news about a college professor nabbed by the FBI for allegedly spying on his students using his digital camera?

So if the iPad had had a built in camera, its access and potential use to so many establishments will be greatly hindered and making it like a over sized version of an iPod touch. But indeed these geniuses at Apple have foreseen it and it is very likely that this "subtle" move may have something to do with the vision of Apple to bring the iPad to school therefore lessening the bulk of school text books requiring or giving students the option to use eBooks and digital text books instead.

When the time does come, this new generation of tech savvy college students will never experience the painful way of researching and writing their thesis, because they will have the power of technology at the tip of their fingertips. Just imagine using a tablet like Apple iPad in school where all words in the eBooks you read can be hyperlinked and indexed and be able to browse instantly in the internet to see the definition of a specific word, or search a term that you might have read before but cant remember what particular chapter you have read it. You can now just search the word, and your handy school gadget will do the job.

It is also important to mention that having the right iPad insurance when you buy your iPad is also very important. In the event your teenager loses or even worst, get his or her iPad stolen, if that gadget had Apple iPad insurance you will just apply for a claim and the insurance company will replace your stolen iPad. So get your student the iPad, get it proper iPad insurance protection and get your child studying with more excitement than ever.

Make sure you protect and insure your iPad with a solid iPad insurance so check out the options for Apple iPad insurance
