iPad program in Michigan district is an early success

From The Detroit Free Press: Just two weeks after the Zeeland (Mich.) school system began phasing in a project that will give an iPad tablet to every student in grades 3 to 12, administrators already are calling the iPad program a game-changer. Teachers use the iPad for assigning classwork, testing and communicating with students. Some teachers have gone paperless. High school students have received their iPads; middle-schoolers will get the tablets in the winter, and students in grades 3 to 5 will get iPads next fall. Also next fall, students in kindergarten through second grade will have access to a cart of the iPads.
