iPads: First Hand Experience (Part 1)

My school started a one-to-one iPad initiative this fall.  Luckily, the teachers received their iPads before Christmas break last year, so that they could get a head start on planning.  Even though we would have six months to navigate and plan before our students would walk in armed with this new education tool, fear took over for a large majority of the staff, including me.  Now I consider myself to be pretty tech savvy teacher, having grown up with computers and internet. But the endless possibilities that the iPad possessed was a little overwhelming.
