Darryl Adams talks about his school district’s latest project. “Everyone will have an iPad! ” he says with a broad smile. “It’s going to be exciting! ”He argues that school districts have often failed to inspire kids. Instead, he says, they’ve been teaching them how to take tests. “And that’s not what education is about. So for the first time in our history as a nation, I think in the world, we’re going to be able to personalize education, ”Adams says.

　　But some districts have publicly stumbled(绊倒)with their initiatives(为解决困难采取的行动). Los Angeles Unified students easily got around restrictions on their district-issued iPads: They simply deleted their personal profile info and then could surf the Web without restriction.

　　Coachella Valley is trying to learn from LA’s problems. It’s working to strengthen profile security and will block harmful and inappropriate online contents. Some security measures should be a classroom management issue. Kids should have digital citizenship and proper use of the iPad.

　　At Coachella Valley High School, one of two high schools in the district, junior Cheyenne Hernandez says she’s open to new media in the classroom but wonders if the iPad money might be better spent on other things. She says people will most likely steal them, break them or wear them out. “And in a student’s opinion, most of the kids are going to go on Facebook, Twitter. ”she says.
