The iPads are great for quick assessments of a student's knowledge. Socrative is a great app for doing this! You can put in a quiz and then when the kids are done it will send you an email with the results.
I think you could also use the iPads like some classrooms use dry erase boards...to write down an answer and show it to the class.
It seems that there are way more apps for elementary teachers to use for this than for secondary. Maybe I just need to be more creative with my assessment??
I will be using the iPads as part of my EOC review and I think it will make the review process more fun for my students.
It does seem like there are a lot of apps for elementary. Have you looked at iTunesU to see what other teachers are doing with their courses yet?
