Through a generous gift of the Trustees of Phillips Exeter Academy, full time faculty will begin their teaching year with an iPad2 in hand. About two thirds of them have already been picked up by faculty over the summer. The agenda for Faculty Week will include an iPad training session later this month to give all of our teachers a jumpstart on using these handy devices. In addition to the faculty devices, two sets of iPads will be circulated to classes this term to give teachers a chance to test the merits of the iPad in class and to give students a chance to put them through their paces as a course tool for texts, research and project creation. The Academy Library has also purchased eight iPads to use in the pursuit of bibliographic research. It will be great to see what this creative community does with such an innovative tool readily available. Check out the Exeter iPad cover below:
