The Aubrun, Maine school department has announced this week that every kindergarten student in the district will receive an iPad 2 tablet for the upcoming fall semester.
There are 285 students and teachers, and the endeavor will cost around $200,000.
As a test program, 20 or so students will get their iPads in May.
Says superintendent Tom Morrill:
When you look at what the iPad 2 apps that are out there, from learning your letters from books, that can be read, finger painting your name, it's absolutely something we must do.
