Planning such a roll out isn’t easy, but schools and districts making the shift this year have the advantage of looking what worked and didn’t work from counterparts that pioneered the iPad in the classroom last year.<br/><br/></p><br/><a href="http://www.cultofmac.com/186221/how-hard-is-it-to-get-ipads-into-the-hands-of-thousands-of-students/" target="_blank">See on cultofmac.com</a>http://mobiletechlearning.tumblr.com/post/30396182951http://mobiletechlearning.tumblr.com/post/30396182951Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:03:30 -0400See on <a style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px;" href="http://www.scoop.it/t/ipadchat/p/2528697777/why-window-8-tablets-will-lose-to-the-ipad-in-education" target="_blank">Scoop.it</a> - <a href="http://www.scoop.it/t/ipadchat" target="_blank">#iPadChat</a><br/><a href="http://www.scoop.it/t/ipadchat/p/2528697777/why-window-8-tablets-will-lose-to-the-ipad-in-education" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.scoop.it/1G0e3XVFLOboO9u4dygZBzl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBXEejxNn4ZJNZ2ss5Ku7Cxt"/></a><br/><p>As the new school year begins, and hundreds of thousands of students across the U.S. become iPad users thanks to one-to-one iPad deployments, there’s already talk that the iPad’s success in schools will be short-lived.
