iPad push reaches classrooms at 2 elementary schools in Los Angeles Unified District

Aug. 28, 2013
The district hopes to eventually acquire a tablet device for every one of its 660,000 students.

Two elementary schools have become the first to roll out tablet computers in a $1 billion effort to put iPads in the hands of every student in the Los Angeles Unified School District. At Broadacres Elementary in Carson, Calif., the tablets were an upgrade for a campus that had no wireless Internet and few working computers. Technology was only marginally better at Cimarron Avenue Elementary in Hawthorne, where the computer lab couldn't accommodate an entire class.
