All the sweet promises Apple is making are going to slam headfirst into the funding issue. It will cost a school 552% more to implement iPad textbooks than it does to deploy books. That ain't happening in THIS economy. The press reports I've seen have completely missed this because Apple "hand waved" their way around it.

There are alternatives to Apple products, like Chromebooks that are just as good if not better in an educational setting.
Principals should be aware of costs and utilize tech as much as possible.
