| LAUSD backs off one-to-one iPad goal |
| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Ramon C. Cortines said that the district cannot afford to provide a computer to every student, signaling a major reversal of his predecessor’s ill-fated $1.3 billion effort to distribute iPads to all students, teachers and school administrators. Instead, Cortines said, the district will try to provide computers to students when they are needed for instruction and testing. “I don’t believe we can afford a device for every student,” Cortines said. “Education shouldn’t become the gimmick of the year.” |
