Digital Resource Considerations:
At the initial deployment stage, students will have access to the Apple iWork suite. Teachers will have access to these tools (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) when they are assigned MacBooks in the summer. Teachers may wish to ask students to use common file formats if a document is being submitted for grading purposes. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Google Apps, and PDFs are all able to be used on all platforms.
