Here is what some of the pupils are saying about the iPads so far:
It makes homework and work in class more enjoyable. Jonathan
It's pure awesome. It's the size of a book but it can do a million things! Zander
Magical! It helps in all subjects especially art. It makes all of school more interesting. Beth
It makes homework much easier to do and so much easier to submit - you can do it all through email... it's just very exciting! Chloe

Hi! This is interesting to me as a tech teacher in the US. I have some questions: 1) Do you have cases for the iPads? 2) Are you using any apps that let you write or draw on the screen? 3) Are you able to print directly from the iPads? 4) In what new ways are teachers having to prepare lessons to take advantage of the iPads' capabilities? 5) How is this different from issuing everybody a laptop?
Ann, thanks for your interest and questions. You may find our blogs interesting in answering the more detailed questions. In particular you may also wish to visit the blog of our computing teacher, Fraser Speirs, who has been behind much of the project. You can view his blog at:
