[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One teacher in each school liked them, so they decide to make the purchase in July and have yet to announce anything publicly? That seems like a well-thought-out, transparent process to you? I'm all for providing technology to kids who need it, but spending all that money when they don't have a plan for how to make full use of it is ridiculous. [/quote] Just because you don't know the plan doesn't mean there isn't a plan. They did a year-long pilot across several dozen classrooms. They are doing in-service this week. I don't know what textbooks they pick out, or when they get new ones, or much else about the specifics of what and how the teachers teach. People are just getting worked up about this because everyone knows what an iPad is and therefore feels entitled to an opinion about how they should be used in schools. [/quote]
