Issues with iPad class sets• not suitable for a shared environment –
- issues – with saving and sharing work • Recommendations
– cloud storage (dropbox/google doc/sugar sync).

clean and the project unfinished• Wireless access –
- Recommendation – booster or 3g as backup• Off campus – may need 3g of app requires internet• Security of teacher/student (multiple users) account
