It doesn't appear as if the school district is receiving much of an educational discount for its ambitious idea. According to Morrill, the cost of outfitting the approximately 285 kindergarten students expected to enroll this coming fall is around $200,000, or $500 per iPad, per student.

iPad in Education: A Case Study of iPad adoption and use in a primary school - 0 views

This paper presents a case study of the iPad's adoption in a primary school, one of the first in the world to adopt it. From interviews with teachers and IT staff, we conclude that the iPad's main strengths are the way in which it provides quick and easy access to information for students and the support it provides for collaboration. However, staff need to carefully manage both the teaching and the administrative environment in which the iPad is used, and we provide some lessons learned that can help other schools considering adopting the iPad in the classroom.
