iPADS PILOT

iPADS PROJECT

After much investigation around the best deals, we have finalised the arrangements as follows:

Staff will have a choice of entering into a 24 month contract for either –

         

• 32Gb 4th Gen Wifi and Cellular  with 2Gb Data Bundle – R449
• 64Gb 4th Gen Wifi and Cellular  with 2Gb Data Bundle – R499

 There is a once off connection fee of R105.

The following form part of the agreement between yourself and the school:

• The school will pay each participant a monthly allowance of R200 for the duration of the contract.  This allowance will be subject to tax.

• Digicape, the provider, is offering a 15% discount on any iPad accessories purchased at the time of taking out the contract.
•  You are the owner of the iPad.
• Accessories, apps, etc, will be for your own account.
• Maintenance of the iPad – such as is required – is the responsibility of the user.
• There will not be dedicated technical support at the Prep – this will be reviewed when appropriate.
•  We are not considering extending the number of Wi-Fi points or other hardware in the near future.
•  In taking up this offer you will join a professional development team to investigate the use of iPads and the extent to which they could transform teaching and learning in the Prep classroom.

We are very excited about the possibilities that iPads in education present and look forward to your interaction and feedback.

Yours sincerely

GREG BROWN
