It's an iPad program for teachers and students. If a school has a iPad cart, the iPads are distributed to a class of students and then the teacher uses his/her iPad to push PPt's, movies, documents to the students individual iPads. It's very interactive and the teacher can wait for students to respond on their iPads (questions, drawings, quizzes, etc.) before going forward with the lesson. The teacher obtains a roster of students participating and see how each is doing with the lesson tasks.
