Nearly 300 kindergarteners in Auburn are taking part in the iPad program this year. Half of them - like Miss Gerard's class - have already started; the other half begin this month.
今年奥本有近300所幼儿园已经加入了iPad项目，其中的一半学校已经像Gerard女士一样开始了iPad项目，其余的一半在这个月也即将启动该项目。
School officials say this is being done to provide comparative data on the impact of students' use of the iPads.
校方称这样做的目的是为学生使用iPads的影响力提供比较性数据。

"One of our literacy interventionists was working with several of her students, and having a hard time with helping them be successful, she finally pulled out her own personal iPad and had them work on some apps for letter recognition and letter formation. And they met the benchmark very quickly and, even as she moved on to other topics with these students, they retained that level of mastery."
“我们中的读写干涉者之一同她的学生在一起学习，她发现帮助他们学习太困难了。最终，她终于拿出了自己的个人iPad让她的学生运用一些字母辨认和字母组合程序来帮助学生学习。此方法下，学生很快地达到了所要求的基本水平，即使是她转到其它的主题上，这些学生也能及时地掌握。"
Project coodinator Mike Moore believes the computers can help address what he describes as huge deficiency the districit is facing in two key areas: literacy and math, while 60 to 65 percent of third grade student are benchmark levels. He says a recent experiment of a colleague help strengthen this belief.
