From Mara Linaberger: Great discussion on the iPad everyone! Next Friday we will be launching an iPad pilot with 48 art, music and theatre teachers at IU1 as part of our ArtsEducator 2.0 project.

The logical step for some may be to then take the tool into student use while others may stick to it as an instructional tool. We'll be documenting our project online here.
