[quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a child with an IEP starting middle school in Arlington, I'm delighted that they are doing this. DC was using an old iPad (1st generation) of ours last year to type assignments and read e-books paired with text -- we attended a meeting at DC's middle school and they indeed are going to use the devices to "push" assignments and readings to the students. APS used to give kids clunky basic word processors with small screens that were not ideal for students with learning disabilities (even though this was who they were intended for) - the iPad is going to be a huge improvement. It was explained to us also that, at least in middle school, families are NOT liable for replacement cost and that in the pilot last year, there was next to no damage/loss -- no surprise because kids think iPads are great and will be protective.[/quote]
