Apple is reportedly set to make the announcement at an upcoming educational-focused event they will be holding that will tease new creative ideas for teachers and students.

This news coincides with the rumors of Apple wanting to release $259 iPad to help them make up the ground they lost with Google and Microsoft when it comes to U.S. education market. A cheaper iPad could help Apple land their product in the hands of students in schools across the country easily. Schools are always looking for good deals to help land tech product in their classes to help teach their students
