My 23 students each have their own iPad in my class. In order keep their iPads updated with apps that enrich their learning, I need to connect them to a MacBook. Unfortunately, I do not have a MacBook to connect their iPad to therefore, I have to update each one by hand every few weeks - taking them out of the hands of our kids for multiple hours and sometimes even days. Getting a MacBook will allow me to update and provide my students with the apps needed to further their learning.
