Why iPads?

All students in grades 6-12 are issued iPads as their learning devices.  

The iPad is an incredible learning tool due to its user-centric features.  Built into every iPad are inherent accessibility features that support individual learning, reading, and writing styles.  

With the ability to write and draw directly on iPads, students can showcase their knowledge in a variety of ways. For example, the iPad’s creativity apps foster, within even the youngest of learners, the opportunity to illustrate, diagram, and annotate.  Additionally, the iPads will come equipped with rugged keyboard cases to provide device protection and add typing functionality.

Along with Google's collaborative tools, students will have Apple's suite of productivity tools, including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. 

Equally impressive are the video apps (like iMovie, GarageBand, and Clips) that come preloaded on each iPad, engaging students in video creation, editing, and publishing processes.  Furthermore, iPads provide the opportunity to learn coding processes, delve into augmented reality, extend the research process, and so much more. 

Given the right tools to create, we can only begin to imagine what our talented students will be capable of achieving!
