We aren't the only school using iPads. This device is modernizing schools all over the country. In this article below, a town called Zeeland, Michigan has adopted iPads into their entire school system, not just high school. Over 1,800 iPads will be distributed to all students in grade three to grade twelve. Middle schoolers receive theirs in the winter but grades three to five get it next fall and they must keep it in the classroom. Some teachers there have recorded their entire lesson on video so their students have access to it even when they are home. They have filters just like us. It limits websites and blocks Facebook. It does not block Skype or Twitter. I am concerned that the younger students are not responsible enough to handle an iPad, but the district ensured them all. Using iPads for educational purposes is a great idea, so why aren't all cities doing it?
