  • When teachers want to get new apps, it's not simple to put them on iPads for students.

  • No support for Flash websites is a big minus,
  • Access to quality digital textbooks proved the biggest challenge at Avery Middle School. The iPad doesn't provide a way to play a CD, and most of the textbook publishers weren't ready or interested in providing digital alternatives.
  • The iOS 4.2 release does allow users to print from iPads — as long as they have an AirPrint-enabled printer. To overcome this challenge, Wells used a plug-in that allows any printer to be compatible with AirPrint. While the printing process is slow and wonky, it does the job.

  • With the iPad, you don't have to worry about outlets, power cords or battery life, Gliksman said. And they're fantastic for communicating, e-reading and Web browsing.
  • The biggest challenge at New Community Jewish High School is sharing the devices, which students have to do because of budget considerations.
  • The more they use it, the more they become comfortable," Gliksman said, "but I’m not ready to say that all kids would be comfortable using iPads all day long. Some of them just don’t like the touch interface and the keyboards.”
