<p>One of the largest iOS implementations in the US. 1800 students and faculty using iPod Touches (students) and iPads (teachers).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Welcome to our 1:1 iPod Touch program called iCougars!</strong>&nbsp;The iCougars@KHS project seeks to increase student achievement of our high school students through a student-centered, one-to-one mobile technologies model by providing every student and staff member with personal access to a mobile computing device in a wireless environment. The mobility of these devices will allow staff and students to use them for learning both inside and outside of school, engaging a 21st century 24/7 learning environment. Mobile devices in class will enable students to engage in research, team projects, classroom activities, and academic coursework. Beyond the school campus the devices will remain in the hands of students, available for homework, email, extra-curricular activities, independent learning, and problem solving. Using the devices for formal class work as well as independent study and personal interests, students will gain not only immediate academic benefits but also valuable 21st century skills that will benefit them in their lives and careers. 1700 students and nearly 100 teachers are participating in the largest iPod Touch implementation to date.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.iear.org/idevice-initiatives-schools/rss-comments-entry-10774626.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Palm Beach County iPad Pilot Project</title><category>Florida</category><category>K-12</category><dc:creator>I Education Apps Review</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:19:03 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.iear.org/idevice-initiatives-schools/2011/3/13/palm-beach-county-ipad-pilot-project.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">333740:9741332:10774123</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.palmbeachschooltalk.com/groups/ipadpilot/">http://www.palmbeachschooltalk.com/groups/ipadpilot/</a></p>

<p>The Journal said,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Beginning in the fall of 2011, students at <a href="http://www.webbschool.org/" target="_blank">The Webb School of Knoxville</a> will be carrying more than just books and binders with them to school  everyday. That's because the private K-12 school in Tennessee is making <a href="http://www.apple.com/education/ipad" target="_blank">Apple iPads</a> mandatory on campus and asking all students in fourth grade or higher  to either buy or lease a device for the coming school year."</p>

<p>From their<a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://wiki.d102.org/groups/mobiletech/" target="_blank"> site</a>:&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Whether we're talking about iPods or iPads, e-book readers or  smartphones, mobile technology is becoming an increasingly important  part of our lives and the lives of our students. The computing and  communications power contained in these compact devices holds great  promise for supporting new kinds of learning activities. It would be  very easy to jump in with both feet and begin to pursue all the  wonderful, creative ideas we have; however, there are logistical  considerations we must take into account. The Mobile Technology Study  group was formed to be the scouting party, looking for examples of best  practices wherever we can find them and reporting back. The group  members will immerse themselves in the issues--reading lots, sharing  lots, and helping us test things out, so that District 102 will be in a  position to implement the right mobile tools in the right ways to  support our students' learning.</p>
