The new iPad starts at $329 for general consumers, but educational institutions can get it for a little cheaper-$299.

An even-lower priced iPad could help Apple teach Google a lesson. But laptops running operating systems by Alphabet's Google or Microsoft can be had for less than $200.

Apple hit hard on the education theme on Tuesday, with school bells and announcements over a public address system directing press and teachers into an auditorium at Lane Tech College Prep High School.

We'll update as more information is made available. Meanwhile 60 percent of mobile computing shipments to schools ran Google's Chrome operating system, and 22 percent had Windows.

Google has emerged as the education leader in the US market, thanks largely to laptop computers running on its Chrome software. "They're planning to announce a new low cost iPad gear towards students and teachers for education environments, along with new software for the education industry, hoping to stack up against the success that Google has seen in recent years with their classroom student platform", said Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. Sales of iPads made up just 8.3 percent of Apple's $229.2 billion total revenue a year ago, however, compared with the almost 62 percent of sales generated by iPhones.

Apple is trying to regain dominance in the education market.
