Editor's Notes
- If they took my iPad away from me now, it would be like cutting my right hand off when I use the hand to write with. The iPad creates a whole new world of learning, a different perspective on teaching, and generates equal and new opportunities for all students.

- Student “the ipads jump us into a new stage of learning, a better stage. It’s a new way of learning, everyone has the same opportunities with these tools. Teachers have really jumped into this as well, teachers are starting to use their fusion pages more, post homework every day, study guides that students can open in apps. The ipad is an amazing tool that I fully recommend every school, especially high schools should take advantage of.”
