    IPads are less expensive than laptops which gives them a great advantage. IPads are also easier to carry and store which is another reason why they are preferred over laptops in schools. There are iPad Grants available to schools, teachers, parents of autistic children, preschools, and nonprofit organizations which will make it easier for schools to implement 1:1 iPads.

    One of the main reasons for which iPads are chosen over laptops in schools is because of price and size. As we all know schools have a limited budget, so saving money is always a great help. According to the article How Schools are Putting iPads to Work iPads are $499 and laptops are $999, so the iPad will be the only option. iPads are also easier to carry and store which is another reason for which iPads are preferred over laptops in schools now.

    iPads are less expensive than laptops which gives them a great advantage. However there are iPad Grants available to schools, teachers, parents of autistic children, preschools, and nonprofit organizations which will make it easier for schools to implement 1:1 iPads .
    Schools and teachers are having some success in seeking grant funding for iPads through foundations and programs that support improved technology and creative classroom learning.

    We felt that other technology initiatives in the district had to some extent underserved or overlooked our youngest learners, and we felt that the iPad was a tool, because of its visual and hands-on design, would really be a natural fit for our youngest learners.

    Carolyn Skibba (School Tech Coordinator)

    Weve done a lot of explicit instruction on how to use the iPad and basic word-processing skills for young children, and the iPad allows us to take a virtual field trip every day by searching Web content in a way thats user-friendly for early childhood students.

    TO I PADS

    Some downfalls reported by students were


    Difficulties manipulating device such as when they are trying to highlight and take notes on ebook.
    Cant have multiple windows opened or have two windows side by side like on a computer.

    Other downfalls

    Internet might become to slow if everyone is on it at the same time. Doesnt have USB port, making it hard to transfer data. Not all textbooks are available on-line, which means some may still have to be bought.

    I MPLEMENTING I DEAS

    Younger students such as K-2nd grade will have an iPad in the classroom but will not be allowed to take them home. Older students, 3rd to 12th grade, are allowed to take iPads home with them. Some schools let students keep the iPads all year long, and at the end of the school year they have to turn in the iPads so they can be checked and updated.
