It is important for the iPad your student uses to be updatable to the latest operating system released by Apple now and also in the next few years. Older models may not run all apps that your student needs for learning and may impact class participation. If you already have an iPad that is not of these models, it might be ok to use as long as you can update it to the latest Mac iOS operating system (currently 14.x). These iPads need to last at least until year 10 and so we make recommendations with that in mind.
iPads with 4G access must have the SIM Card removed.
We do not recommend iPad Mini as the screen size can be hard for students to read and isn't recommended to complete tests and assignments on.
iPads need to be protected from damage at school and a protective case will help prevent glass breakage. Even if your student is careful they will be in a classroom with many other students as well as carrying the iPad to and from School.
The Apple Pencil is an effective tool for school use. CompNow sells them much cheaper than retail if your iPad is compatible.
