Imagine a school where kindergartners use Apple iPads to learn numbers and letters and upperclassmen use them to study the constellations and create multimedia presentations. It’s not far-fetched. By next school year, Nevada will have its first “iSchool” opening at a Las Vegas charter school. Tuition-free charter schools are different from traditional public schools because they are granted a contract, or charter, that gives them greater freedom in setting their curriculum and budget in exchange for more accountability.
