This teacher's blog post not only gives tips for setting-up a 1 iPad classroom (with a teacher laptop also) but a huge list of apps and ideas for using them all.

iPads have exploded throughout schools and classrooms. Their flexibility, versatility, and mobility make them a phenomenal learning tool. As teachers seek ways to integrate these devices, we recommend focusing on specific learning goals that promote critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration, and the creation of student-centric learning environments.

Content Curation  Promising for using with iPads

"Math and engineering teacher Chris Beyerle from South Carolina curates this collection of math apps. These map to the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice. That's CCSS.Math.Practice.MP1 to CCSS.Math.Practice.MP8."

This resource provides teacher created reviews for apps.  There is also a community to ask questions and a beta board tool to bookmark and create own "pintrest" type board.

Turn any webpage or blog into an ebook.  This would be great for students with limited internet access at home or teachers who want to take research with them when there is no wifi.  Can open in ibooks and use the notes features etc.  

Even if they haven't used it, most iPad owners are familiar with iMovie. Many schools buy it for all of the iPads that they distribute to students and teachers. If your school hasn't bought it for you or you just want to try some other video creation options without spending any money, take a look at this small collection of free video creation apps for your iPad.

Great description of effective workflow plan. The author did purchase the premium Evernote account to allow for more collaboration between teacher/student.

Great tips on how to work with your new iPads. Love the term look for "evergreen" apps. Apps that can be used all year for multiple things!
