Two Charleston Co. schools set to get iPads

WEST ASHLEY, SC (WCSC)
The Charleston County School Board has approved a recommendation to allow two schools to have iPad 2's in the classroom.

Right now, a kindergarten, first and third grade class at Drayton Hall are using iPads. With Monday evening's approval, all of Drayton Hall will get iPad 2's plus one more elementary school in Charleston County.

"They have made a huge difference in learning. The kids test grades have gotten much better," said Amy Winsted, a teacher at Drayton Hall Elementary.

"It saves so much paper. Eventually we're hoping to let kids take tests and quizzes on the iPads and e-mail them to their teachers," Winsted said.
