This document outlines how iPads can be leveraged for learning. It proposes using three apps - Blackboard Mobile, PDF-Notes, and Dropbox - to reduce paper usage and allow for easier document management and quick feedback. The keys to success are focusing on pedagogy, gaining support from IT, using fewer apps, and engaging students. Useful links are provided for exploring iPad integration further.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Apple Configurator (App Store, free) Configuring 30 iPads, iTouch or iPhones simultaneously 3 sorts of setups 1. Configuring iPad fleet with your parameters, software, applications that you require, but iPad stays unlocked for each of the 30 users. 2. Supervise : (new) configuring fleet of ipads (network, applications) with the parameters you want but each of 30 users cannot change configuration of their iPad (Asks for admin UN/PW). 3. Assign : assign each ipad to a specific user.
