• Wirelessly-networked notebook computers which give educators the flexibility to have computer-assisted learning anywhere and everywhere in the school - without wires. Student’s and teacher’s access to computers is no longer limited to computer labs, freeing these labs to return to badly-needed classrooms. IDC data highlights that Apple is the number one supplier for notebook computers to education, and Apple’s new iBook™ is already a huge hit in education. Apple is also number one in education wireless networking with its AirPort™ wireless local area network (LAN) solution.

• Digital Media—Tools from Apple, including iMovie™ and iDVD, enhance learning and make school more engaging and motivating for students. Apple is offering a hands on opportunity to create iMovies and demonstrating student work created with iMovie and other Apple technologies like Final Cut Pro®. Demonstrations will also include how teachers can share their students classwork with parents using the HomePage feature of Apple’s iTools for education.

• PowerSchool from Apple - Nearly 3,000 schools have committed to using PowerSchool, the leading web-based student information system which gives teachers, administrators and districts the ability to easily and cost-effectively manage student records and make data-driven decisions to improve performance of their schools while allowing parents to track their children’s progress in real time—from any type of computer, anywhere.

PowerSchool software will enable Chicago Public Schools, the nation’s third largest school district with 601 schools and over 434,000 students; the Archdiocese of Baltimore, with 100 schools and 37,000 students; and California’s Fremont Union High School District, with five schools and nearly 9,000 students, to perform a variety of tasks ranging from student scheduling to student record management and communication through an easy touse web-based interface. The Archdiocese of Baltimore and the Fremont Union High School District will be taking advantage of the application service provider (ASP) version of PowerSchool, freeing the school district from installing and managing additional central servers and software. With today’s announcement, nearly 3,000 schools nation-wide have committed to PowerSchool.
