Florida Technical College will be providing Apple iPad 2 tablets to new students and faculty at its five Central Florida locations starting Nov. 28.*

“The iPad greatly expands the learning universe for our students,” said David Ruggieri, President at Florida Technical College. And, according to Ruggieri, providing this technology to FTC students and faculty assures they stay in step with the technology.

New students in degree and diploma programs at Florida Technical College campuses in Orlando, Lakeland, Kissimmee, DeLand and Pembroke Pines will begin receiving iPad 2 WiFi devices at the start of the new quarter on Monday, with Apple training available on the first day of classes. A technology cost for the device will be included in tuition fees.

The iPad 2 comes with an E-Book application for textbooks. The device offers many unique capabilities for students to be mobile learners, with apps for tracking assignments, taking notes, file sharing on projects and access to thousands of libraries and other educational tools.

Florida Technical College offers associate and bachelor’s degrees and diploma programs in many high-demand occupations – from information technology to health care, from criminal justice to the culinary arts. Graduates may enter the workforce as medical technicians, web designers, paralegals and a range of other professions.

“FTC is continually working to provide programs to meet the ever-changing needs of employers – and that includes technology,” said Ruggieri.

*To receive iPad 2, new students must attend at least one class and completely process their financial aid or payment plan information with the Financial Aid Department.
