Can Apple cut into Google's education tech lead?
Apple recently sent out invites[1] to a special event, where the company is expected to announce new products and services - including new iPads. (Sorry, no iPhones[2].) The Apple event is taking place in an entirely new city -- and at a somewhat unusual venue.
Here's everything you need to know about Apple's latest event[3].

Education it is, then.
