I feel like I lift one up, and there's another!  Meaning I was iPad/tablet shopping yesterday and feel like there is just so darned much to learn!  My urban school of 1200 kids has 2, yes 2, iPads that aren't personal ones. So though I know there are such cool ways to use them with students, it seems pointless right now.
