Using the iPad in a reading project at Bernadino Heights Secondary sparked the interest of other schools. The 16 students selected for the reading club were exposed to reading and writing skills every Monday afternoon.
They can review a setwork book, send emails and effortless search the Web for and extrapolate information and was exposed to blogging.
The shift in procurement procedures by WCED delayed the purchase of the 12 iPads for the school. The school population eagerly awaits the approval of the funding which will allow these devices to be introduced to the Language classes but also to different learning fields that are offered by the school.
The Arts and Culture Focus School in Wynberg wants to leapfrog this exciting project. 
The principal, Mr. Daniel Jones plans to create a multi media centre and include the latest Apple technology. Learners will be able to listen to music, view educational movies and harvest information from the Web using Mac mini computers. His iPad section will allow educators to ‘rent’ these devices and use them in their classes on a daily basis.
Across curricular groups will be able to have group discussions in a section of the room. 
The iAfrica movie club of learners at the school will also have their blue corner.
The use of the iPad will have a pertinent presence in the Music, Dance, Visual Art and Graphic Design and Drama classes….. and the lives of all who learn … You iPad too?
