After a thorough technology review in 2022, comparing all one-to-one electronic education options, it was determined that the Apple iPad is still the most versatile educational tool, from art, to music, to traditional classes. The iPad allows students to accomplish the same tasks as a laptop, however it gives the advantages of interactive and educational apps. There is an instant start, where as a laptop takes time to “boot up.” There is no need for a charging station because the battery life of an iPad will last throughout the entire school day. It is a lightweight and durable device that provides optimal academic function regardless of the class. It also keeps the technology fee very reasonable. Roger Bacon students receive an iPad, a protective case with integrated keyboard, a mouse, and a stylus.
