Verizon Innovative Learning Grant aims to close digital learning gap
EL PASO, TEXAS — A forward-thinking grant funded by the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools and directed by Digital Promise will begin delivering iPads to all students and teachers at five EPISD middle schools starting this week.
The rollout of iPads aims to make teachers and students adept problem-solvers, content creators and responsible consumers of media in a national effort to close the digital learning divide in schools serving low-income students.
The iPads will help students complete their academic coursework, and will supplement the lessons teachers use in the classroom to create high-quality teaching and learning. Students and teachers will be allowed to take the tablets home during the school year.
Nearly 4,000 iPads will be distributed in the next three weeks. The first roll out will be from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 16, at Morehead Middle School, 5625 Confetti Dr.
The other four schools participating are Armendariz, Bassett, Charles and Henderson middle schools.
“This is the third year of the grant and EPISD is the largest single grant recipient of any district in the U.S.,” said Tim Holt, EPISD’s Executive Director of Blended Learning. “Our commitment as part of this grant is to take these five schools and start transforming how the teachers and students do lessons.”
Drivers exclusive. Tablets come equipped with a 2-year data plan to ensure students have Internet access at home.
Students and teachers will be on hand on Friday to demonstrate how the iPads will impact teaching and learning at participating schools.

Digital Textbooks
What are Digital Textbooks?
Simply put, digital textbooks are electronic replacements for traditional paper texts. EPISD feels that digital textbooks offer some advantages to our learners that older textbooks cannot offer.

In the summer of 2014, EPISD began an ambitious program, along with our partner CK12.org, to replace high school science textbooks with free, electronic texts. Working with a team of teachers, the district created textbooks for high school Biology, Chemistry, Physics and IPC. These texts meet the exact same high standards of textbooks that come from traditional publishers, yet have the incredible price of being 100% free.
Students will be able to access these texts on a wide variety of devices including their own personal electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet, or a school provided laptop or device. (See the section on BYOD here.)
