In case you hadn't noticed, I'm quite a fan of the iPad (the Lollipop Nexus 9's not too bad either). Not because of its design or because its by Apple or any of that, but…
Fiona Harvey's insight:
This is brilliant - such a good idea and I agree with the opening paragraph entirely - it's not just because it's Apple, they happen to have cornered education rather well and that's why we are interested. Quality is important, not just quantity.

The reason: L.A. Unified selected a relatively costly product — a higher-end Apple iPad — and also paid for a new math and English curriculum installed on the tablets.
Fiona Harvey's insight:
This article refers to range of USA institutions comparing tablet and laptop usage and notes that the iPad is more expensive because of curriculum requirements (Pearson math and English added $200 per device). One thing that stood out for me was the comments from the education institutions, throughout this they mention bigger screens, being able to print etc, nothing about affordances of tablets against laptops which indicates that staff development may be needed - devices are only as good as the people using them.
