San Jose, CA students the latest to get iBooks

The Mercury News reports that 1,100 students at Gunderson High School in San Jose, California, were recently given Apple iBooks as part of a US$6 million program. “In education-speak, this is the first step of a ‘vertical slice’ program. The laptops cost the district about $1,360 each. The rest of the funds go to expenses like insurance, infrastructure, training and software — and eventually, more computers. Next year, laptops will be issued to students at Steinbeck Middle School, which feeds students to Gunderson.”
