"This past week at Burlington High School, we started rolling out iPads for incoming freshmen. During this process, I couldn't help but reflect on what had occurred over the course of a year. Around this time last summer, BHS had roughly one thousand iPads ready to roll out to all students. "
"When we finally learn that technology alone won’t transform education—even as it will almost certainly be a critical ingredient in the transformation—we’ll be in a much better place. Districts spending wildly on iPads and other devices should take note."
The iPad has been around for only two years, but the tablet computer and its many competitors are already starting to change the way both parents and teachers approach education.

"The easy part was deciding on the device, the hard part was the roll-out. Getting this right would ensure staff could understand the device and be comfortable using it within their classroom and we didn't want these devices to be just another 'gadget' relegated to the cupboard."
So when it comes to the iPad, there are over 225,000 apps in the App Store. I am not going to even get into the discussion that we should stay away from becoming app-dependent and focus on digital resources that are free and will work on an platform. (I'll leave that for a future post).
With the iPads ordered, the actual deployment would be carefully planned. Proper planning would ensure teachers understood the device and therefore be more confident users.
