imageGreater Atlanta Christian Schools has launched a massive Apple technology initiative that will put new laptops in the hands of more than 1,200 students, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The Norcross private school will equip every student in grades 6 through 12 with a new MacBook loaded with GAC software. It will be one of Apple’s largest school technology rollouts in the nation, notes the AJC.

The MacBooks will be paired as a learning tool with iPod touches. GAC laptops will even be provided to students who already have laptops at home, notes the AJC. The laptops will carry insurance and tech support. Students, however, must provide their own iPod touch.
