N-B Links: Northern Wells parents' must purchase iPad cases

Northern Wells school board members unanimously approved requiring parents for students in third grade and beyond to purchase protective cases for the iPads.

Parents will be able to purchase at a discount two types of cases through the district’s website, Mills said, and acquire them when they acquire their iPads.

If parents purchase their own cases, they must protect the iPad’s front, back and corners, particularly if the device fell off a table.

If parents want a Bluetooth keyboard or a different style of case, however, they must purchase them on their own; click here and here for two online reviews of cases, and click here to go to the Apple website for cases.
