How is this iPad different than your own iPad or one from home?
The school iPad is a classroom tool with apps that will help students create and share work for their classes. The school iPad has apps carefully chosen by teachers which you will be used for school projects. There may be apps that some students have already used, but other students have not, so we'll still have to explore them together. We may use the same app a different way. |
