Who’s paying for this? Why iPads? Does my child get to keep it? What about summer? Can we use our own iPad? Who pays for apps? Many education apps are free and in the future will come with the curriculum. What happens if it breaks? What about a cover? I don’t want to participate, what do I do now? How can I monitor what my child is doing? I don’t know how to use an iPad, where can I get help? Why not pre-k and kindergarten? Kiindergarten and pre-k are perfect I-Pad users. I have seen 3 year olds at restaurants on I-pads quietly amusing themselves playing matching games and using a coloring app for electronic coloring books. What will happen to the other computers? How will they do word processing? What apps will you use? I don’t want my child on the Internet, so what do I do? Will I need an Apple ID? Shared by family, individual and credit card attached or not? Will my child get an email address? Can we load our own apps? Can we personalize the iPad? Why do I have to pay a technology fee every year? How will the teachers be trained to best maximize this for individual students? When will students below 3rd grade have their own iPads rather than a shared cart? How will the teachers be able to monitor what each child is doing on his/her iPad when they are working with 14 to 18 students at a time?
