After putting more than 75,600 netbooks into the hands of students, the San Diego Unified School District has switched its focus to iPads and will buy devices to outfit 340 classrooms before the end of the school year reports “U-T San Diego” (http://macte.ch/44yhQ).

The district plans to purchase approximately 25,700 iPad 2s at a slight discount from retail to roll out to its fifth- and eighth-grade classes as well as some high school classes by next fall, the article adds. It is one of the largest deployments of iPads in K-12 schools in the nation and will cost the district more than US$15 million, says “U-T San Diego.”
