Green River students to get iPads

Public school students in Green River will be getting to use Apple iPads soon. The Sweetwater County School District 2 Board of Trustees allocated $26,000 to buy iPads for its students. District Technology Supervisor David Holt said $19,039 will go to purchase a 25-station iPad cart with 25 iPads, which allows staff to synchronize and charge the machines. Another $7,000 was allocated to purchase applications. Holt says that the purchase will help the district meet its goal of having an iPad cart in each school building by 2014. He said because iPads have many applications that engage students at different ages and levels of understanding, they can be used to help individual students in a specific area.
