Schools Abandon Textbooks To Go All iPad

by Here & Now

Apple reports schools in more than 600 districts have bought iPads for all of their students. And it?s not happening just in wealthy suburbs. Schools in urban districts like New York City and Chicago are also handing out iPads. In the Boston area, Burlington High School launched a one-to-one iPad program in the fall, providing a tablet for each student. It cost the school about $500,000 for the devices, and the principal, Patrick Larkin, said the school paid for them within its existing budget.
