This is the second year of the GFW High School One-to-One iPad Initiative where every GFW High School student has access to an iPad tablet to use in their classes. Students can use their iPad:
-as an organizational tool to track assignments, homework and class projects.
-to access the internet to research information needed for class projects.
-to create on-line presentations
-to word process class papers and projects
-to run a variety of applications to enhance their learning experience in class
-to read electronic books, tests, newspapers and magazines
