17. Apple Volume Purchase Plan for Schools Apple continues to update the Terms and Conditions for iTunes and the App Store. Apple encourages schools to use the App Store Volume Purchase Program. In the past Apple had no mechanism for downloading an app more than once, so schools would purchase an app one time and distribute it to all their iPod touches, iPads, and iPhones. This arrangement made app purchases for class sets of handhelds inexpensive but was not properly compensating app developers.Terms and ConditionsApp Store Volume Purchase Program The new App Store Volume Purchase Program requires schools to follow Terms and Conditions that are different from the Terms and Conditions for individual consumers. Apple even reserves the right to audit purchases to make sure that schools are following all of the usage rules for educational institutions, including purchasing activation codes for each device onto which an app is installed.Terms and Conditions Apple licensing doc  iEAR educational purchasing infoeducational purchasing info 8/16/2015

36. Just ONE of your Tools! ”iPods and iPads are the Swiss Army Knives of assistive technology. Convenient, portable, multi- purpose, a Swiss Army Knife is perfect for some situations that arise in the field. But will it really suffice for all your day-to-day cutlery needs? Can it replace all your food preparation tools? With it, aside from cutting up a few vegetables or opening a can of soup, can you teach someone to be a cook? Worse yet, who remodeling a kitchen would refuse space for kitchen drawers or cabinets, citing the Swiss army knife as the all-in-one utensil?"
