 On a parallel front has any government school succeeded to secure iPads

> We here at St.B's are going down the iPAD path way in 2012. As part of my
> role I seek out any information that you guys and gals out there may have
> in the 'apps' that you have used for your iPADs either with staff or
> students or both, what subject the app was used for and how much it cost
> to download from the iTUNES store(or other location).
> The first staffer to ask for this info has been my Maths co-ordinator who
> is interested in Apps used for Maths topics(all secondary levels) or even
> any texts available as an 'app'.
>
> I would also be interested in feedback about the configuration of iPAD
> machines being favored among users. We are looking at the 16/32/64Gb
> options with Wi-Fi and 3G options for our (about to be) purchased
> machines.
>
> Any other info that you feel would be valuable from your experiences with
> this tool/device would be appreciated.
>
> Thanks heaps in advance.
