Concerns or Problems Encountered with the iPad

iPad does not run Java SE, which means Quia and other Flash-based educational games won't run on the iPad. Several teachers have developed games for Quia or used games developed by other teachers on Quia for skill reinforcement. Quizlet is a alternative that does run - usually (the audio can be iffy) on iPad but it does not have as many fun formats for games.

If we were to have iPads for students, would they need to have wifi at home?

It would be useful if they added the numbers row to the alpha keyboard instead of recycling the iPhone keyboard. There is room on the iPad screen for numbers to be with letters and it would be more user friendly.
