Evolving 1:1

A private school in North Carolina has begun working iPads into its 7-year-old 1:1 computing initiative, but it's not stopping there.

Cannon School students in grades 9 through 12 have been using laptop computers in the classroom for the last seven years. Now, the independent K-12 college preparatory school in Concord, NC, is taking the same step that many other institutions are doing right now by integrating iPads into the classroom.

With about 850 students, the school began providing middle school pupils with iPads at the start of the current school year. Some of the funding for the equipment came from $50,000 raised by parents to help pay for the iPads, plus several Smart Boards and Smart Tables and a new virtual language lab.
