The iPad2 is 33% thinner and 15% lighter than the old iPad the old iPad weight is 1.5 pounds How could this work in the school system in helping it to become greener, cut the coast of text book, and lighten the back packs of the students.
The text books could be viewed on line as a PDF file. This will also eliminate the excurse of that the students saying that they forgot their books. The student would not have to keep up with multiple text books. The children would also be able to keep their notes on the iPad. The teachers would be able to send the students their assignments and notes electronically. This will eliminate a lot of paper. If the student needs to have meeting with the student with the iPad2 they would be able to do a web conference. The iPad has two cameras that will allow you to talk and see the person at the same time.
The coast of the iPad starting coast is $499.00 and by buying in bulk you will get a discounst also with any software that you will need for the students. The coast could be spread over four years along with insurance that would cover in the event of it being lost or damaged. The coast of school books are about $30-$40 per book. Once the books are printed there is no changing. When the books become outdated then you will have to print more. By viewing it online in a PDF file keeping the student in current books would be cheaper.
