FINAL IPAD2 INNOVATION ASSESSMENT

 • We are funded by the State of New Jersey – Lack of technology improvements will eliminate that funding.  • Reduction in student attendance – Reduces state funding.  • Current program operations – Dissatisfies parents because there are too many books to carry.  • iPad 2 Early Adoption – Eliminates all of the above.  • Educational institutions receive 50% reduction on product cost from Apple.  • Students are eager and motivated to own the iPad 2 PC Tablet.  • All textbooks required are preloaded in eBooks each year.  • No textbook storage area required.  • All parent/teacher conferences performed using iPad 2 video conference services, which takes these meeting to the next level. ﻿ All,  If you can think of other ideas, please tell me.

Instead there are Foundation Level grants to RSVP and school fund raisers that enable organizations such as mine to get the funding which is a non-profit (501c) organization. Three years ago I received an award from Staples Foundation and purchased 6 PCs to use for science and journalism projects. There are organizations called Education Grants.com and GrantsAlert.com that I view weekly for opportunities to submit a grant proposal. It is all about the kids! <span style="direction: ltr; display: block; language: en-US; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.31in; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.31in; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #000000; direction: ltr; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%; language: en-US; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.31in; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: -0.31in; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Val
