Through extensive research that included visiting other schools that have implemented 1:1 devices for students, Keystone has concluded that the iPad is the best choice for our students.  The factors that guided us in making this decision included cost, ease of use, available content and textbooks, and durability.  Additionally we were impressed by the following:

• The iPad has up to a 9-hour battery life so students can rely on its use at any point during the school day.
• The iPad is always on so teachers do not have to wait for students to boot up their device.
• Students can wirelessly project their iPad to the classroom presentation system, making it easy for students to show and demonstrate their work to the entire class.
• The iPad is easy for us to not only add content but also restrict content.
• There are thousands of great educational apps.
