A growing number of schools across the nation are embracing the iPad
as the latest tool to teach Kafka in multimedia, history through
“Jeopardy”-like games and math with step-by-step animation of complex
problems.
As part of a pilot program, Roslyn High School on Long Island handed out
47 iPads on Dec. 20 to the students and teachers in two humanities
classes. The school district hopes to provide iPads eventually to all
1,100 of its students.
The iPads cost $750 apiece, and they are to be used in class and at home during the school year to replace textbooks,
allow students to correspond with teachers and turn in papers and
homework assignments, and preserve a record of student work in digital
portfolios.
