LA Unified's iPad rollout marred by chaos

A look at the confusion and complexities in the Los Angeles Unified School District's $1-billion effort to provide all its students with the Apple tablets. The first rollout, at 47 campuses, has raised questions about whether the nation's second-largest district tried to do too much, too soon. Teachers reported not being able to connect to the Internet in some classrooms. Students bypassed security measures and surfed prohibited websites. Parents aren't sure if they're liable if the $678 tablets get lost or break. District directives have been misinterpreted. The latest: Students from three high schools — Angelou, Roosevelt and Westchester — have been told to surrender their iPads until further notice. Students elsewhere aren't being allowed to take them home. The students themselves aren't even sure why some tablets were taken back while others weren't.
