iPad Pilots

In my previous post I pretty much stated that I’m not currently in favour of school iPad programs, where a class would have 1:1 tablets per students.  This is based on my current knowledge of tablets, computers and software that is available for them.  However, I haven’t tried having my students use iPads in class (hence the conditional “current”!).  I would be extremely interested in getting feedback from educators that have spent some time with 1:1 iPad/student programs.

• Do you think the program is/was successful?
• What do you think was the reason for success or failure?
• How were the iPads ultimately used for the most (web, media consumption, content creation, etc)?
• Do you have any feeling as to how the project would have gone if you had netbooks instead?
• Any interesting comments or stories to relate?
