Teachers Barely Used iPads From Controversial $500 Million Contract In Los Angeles
- The new report on the iPads’ usage, which was conducted by an outside firm for the district and released today, found that the iPads were used only sparingly alongside Pearson’s curriculum, which came loaded onto the iPads. When 245 classrooms were visited in May, only one was using the Pearson curriculum, which is estimated to have cost $200 per device over 3 years, to teach a lesson on fractions. Only 30 of the teachers used the iPads for any form of English or math instruction, and if they did, they usually downloaded outside apps rather than using Pearson software.

Deasy most notably oversaw the extremely troubled rollout of L.A.’s $1.3 billion contract to provide iPads to every student in the district, the largest such initiative in the country. The LA Timeslater revealed that Deasy had worked closely with executives from Apple and education company Pearson before the two companies won the massive contract, raising questions of whether the bidding process was fair. The school district then suspended the contract.
