Apple is returning to school with a new iPad and enhanced educational resources.<\/p>\n

The new iPad costs $299 for educators and students, but $329 for everyone else, the same price as that of the iPad released last year. Unveiled at Chicago’s Lane Tech College Prep High School on Tuesday, with Apple CEO Tim Cook on hand, the new iPad boasts increased online storage for students of 200 GB, up from 5 GB, on its A10 fusion chip, with a faster speed and 10-hour battery life.<\/p>\n

The new iPad works with Apple Pencil, which previously could be used only with the expensive iPad Pro. The new stylus, Logitech Canyon, costs $49 for students, and may also be applied to iWork, including Numbers, Pages and Keynote.<\/p>\n

“We deeply care about education,” Cook said, linking technology to the liberal arts.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple\u2019s $299 iPad is a love letter to education,\u201d said Apple Vice President Greg Joswiak, who participated in the announcement. The product release in Chicago was unusual for Apple, which traditionally makes such anouncements at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters.<\/p>\n

The new iPad applies augmented reality to \u201cenable new ways to learn,\u201d Joswiak said, providing a better learning experience. He invited students to view artwork at a museum with Boulevard AR’s app, or to disect a virtual frog with the stylus through the app Froggipedia.<\/p>\n

Joswiak also introduced an educational app, Schoolwork, for teachers to assign digital materials to students, write notes and see student progress, saying it \u201ctaps into the power of apps in the classroom.\u201d Apple stated that it will keep all the data private for users. Schoolwork will be available in June.<\/p>\n

Apple also revealed a series of educational programs and curricula, including Everyone Can Create, which provides free learning resources and teaching guides that help teachers easily coordinate drawing, music and filmmaking with lessons and assignments.<\/p>\n

But Apple\u2019s new iPad isn’t only for schools, Joswiak declared. It updates all the productivity apps with the support of Apple Pencil, making it possible to make \u201csmart annotations\u201d while using these apps.<\/p>\n

In the classroom market, Apple is facing off against Google. Google’s low-cost Chromebook laptops account for nearly 60 percent of all devices in the classroom, according to research firm Futuresource, while Apple devices make up only 17 percent of the education market.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, Apple\u2019s new flagship retail store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago is going on the market for perhaps as much as $170 million, after another investor bought the property for Apple’s use less than six months ago.<\/p>\n
