What New Products Were Announced in the Apple Education Event & Keynote Today?

It's iPad time

An even-lower priced iPad could help Apple teach Google a lesson.

The new iPad works with the Apple Pencil to support art projects - similar to what comes packaged with the higher-end iPad Pro tablet.

The biggest changes are in software.

By adding Pencil support Apple has opened up a whole new world of apps to students, and Pages, Keynote and Numbers will all be pre-installed for free. Apple's 501 stores in 21 countries have already taught almost 5,000 hands-on Teacher Tuesday sessions on topics including coding and app design, movie and music creation, and presentations or spreadsheets. What's at stake is the tech loyalty of the next generation. There's no news on whether this will extend to schools outside the USA at the moment.

Coleman would go on to spend 23 years in prison before DNA evidence led to his exoneration and that of his co-defendant. Prosecutors initially pushed for Coleman to get the death penalty, according to the Tribune . "This here is the proof".

Trump effect: JSW to invest upto $500 million in US
The Governor of Texas has approved a grant of $3.4 million from the Texas Enterprise Fund to JSW Steel (USA) Inc. This investment will be used to expand the company's plate and pipe mill unit.

Weather Forecast For Tuesday March 27
Precipitation chances look small as well but enough to where we have to take it day by day to continue to monitor the chances. Tuesday , mostly cloudy with a high near 51 followed by a warm Wednesday , mostly cloudy with a high near 66.

Chromebooks accounted for 60% of laptops, tablet and other mobile computers shipped to US K-12 schools in the third quarter of 2017, according to FutureSource Consulting. The app also lets teachers monitor student progress, including completion percentages and student-specific views of completed work.

Price: Apple isn't ever a budget option, but a price lower than $330 would certainly help the iPad strike back against the rise of Chrome and Windows 10.

Of course, iPads aren't popular only with students. So, here is what you can expect from today's Apple event. The home button still works as a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and the new model has Global Positioning System receiver and a compass.

Greg Joswiak, vice president of iPad product marketing for Apple Inc., speaks during an event at Lane Technical College Prep High School in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., on Tuesday, March 27, 2018. "That's why education is such a big part of who we are as a company, and has been for forty years". Apple's lightweight laptop MacBook Air has not seen a revamp since the last few years so the expectations are there that it may be launched in a new avatar by the company at the event. The introduction of gold-coloured iPad also gives us an indication that the iPhone X will also be made available in a new gold colour very soon. Apple Watch spring collection also features woven nylon band range. Manufactured by Logitech and endorsed by Apple, the Crayon is a white-and-orange stylus that will allow younger users (children of all ages, if you will) an easy way to interact with all of the hottest iPad software. This may suggest that they will release a different, cheaper version. It would be the new iPad. Apple claims the new machine can last ten hours between appointments with a charger.
