Senate President pro tem Tommie Williams says that Georgia legislators and state educators are considering an offer from Apple regarding iPads, reports the “Atlanta Journal Constitution” (http://macte.ch/9nD6S),
“Last week we met with Apple Computers, and they have a really promising program where they come in and their recommending to middle schools — for $500 per child per year, they will furnish every child with an iPad, wi-fi the system, provide all the books on the system, all the upgrades, all the teacher training– and the results they’re getting from these kids is phenomenal.”
Williams said legislators are currently searching for money in the state’s education budget to fund pilot programs across the state.
