A local school district did exactly that-
Quote:
All of them get a district-provided iPad for the first time, so students will spend much of their first two days at an “iPad academy.” About 90% of the teachers became familiar with the educational uses of the mobile device during two-day workshops held over the summer.
Del Val is the first high school in the county to issue iPads to each student and many staff members, and everyone is learning not only the uses, but rights, responsibilities, restrictions and rules of usage inside and outside of the school.
