Below is an email I just received from Jared, an Eisenhower 8th grader.
Dear Mr. Olejarz,
So far I have used my iPad for...
looking up facts about Anastasia and a genetic disorder (science).
viewing theorems and shape properties (math).
researching topics because there were not enough computers (W.E.L.).
writing down homework (as an assignment pad).
a U.S.B. and a media player for a project (Spanish).
taking notes and typing an essay (social studies).
Also, I was wondering what type of network the school has. This would be useful to me so I could experiment with various apps that would let me access data from my account. Lastly, one of the AirPrint links is broken. Here is a link to the new version, now called AirPrint Activator, http://download.cnet.com/AirPrint-Activator/3000-18487_4-75327225.html?tag=mncol;1 .

It a great idea to get the iPad in the hands of a few students. It seems that Jared is surfing the web for some of his info (looking up facts, researching topics,etc). Some of this can be accomplished with a laptop. Is he using apps or any features unique to the iPad?
