"iPads have been purchased and have arrived for this 2011/2012 school year. It is always our intention of providing the necessary professional development for new and innovative technologies.

Our goal this year is to form a research and development group that is willing to learn all about the iPads and how they can be effectively used in the classrooms. This group will research apps that match the Common Core Standards, try the apps out with their students, then record their reflections. The research of this group will be available online via a Google Presentation similar to the one linked here. "

I've spent the last day and a half testing it out, and so I've had the opportunity to use nearly every feature of the service.  If you were to ask me how to best describe it, I'd say it is like Twitter, Facebook, Skype, and Gmail merged together and formed one, super social, Omni-beast of a website.  The interface is elegant and beautiful, the features are easy to use, and you can "Circle" up with as many people as you want.  However, it isn't without its flaws.
