And meanwhile, some schools can barely afford traditional materials, or, teachers for that matter! oh my goodness!
The Auburn, ME school district spent more than $200,000 to outfit every one of its 250 kindergarteners with the tablets, along with sturdy cases to protect them.
School officials say they are the first public school district in the country to give every kindergartener an iPad. Mrs. McCarthy says the tools give her 19 students more immediate feedback and individual attention than she ever could.
“As much as you would like as a person to get to everyone right away and individualize, sometimes you can’t.” Kelly McCarthy said.By the way, in a metric of just what is wrong with views on education, the first expected measurement of whether or not the iPads are helping the students’ reading ability will come during a test in November. You know…six weeks from now.
