Los Angeles school board signed an agreement with Apple that will allow students in the LA Unified School District to receive a free ipad. The agreement between the school board and Apple is worth $30 million and will launch this fall delivering 31,000 iPads to the district. The tablets will come preloaded with educational apps to assist students with their studies. This program hopes to prepare students for the real world by exposing them to new technology that they may not have readily accessible at home.
