It's never just one app, losts are needed.
Students have to have wads of money to install all the apps on top of every other school cost. There will never be a final list of apps and that's it, it will be ongoing, as will the purchase of the next ipad, through the 6-10 years of school. From what I understand so far, there may be 20 -30 apps as a minimum needed per student, or the school has to provide the apps which for say 3000 students works out at $6000 minimum per app. One school of that size has baulked at spending tens of thousands of dollars on apps and savvy students do not seem to like the ipad for school work. Does an ipad run all day without recharging? Schools cannot provide charging or power leads to each desk or recharge facilities for massive numbers of ipads at lunchtimes.
