The iPad Cart

Hello and welcome to Tuesdays with Swindy.

Our district is in the process of purchasing iPads, which I've only used or seen used in classrooms as personal mobile devices. However, to get them in the hands of more students, there is a plan to use them on carts, which will be shared by multiple students throughout a day.

Many apps are geared toward a single user. I track my diet and excercise with MyFitnessPal, designed for one user. My Google Reader is populated by my specific RSS feeds, and I've trained my own Dragon speech recognition app. Even the app I'm using to write this blog post (BlogBooster) is associated with my individual Google account, and linked specifically with this Blogspot account.

So how can the iPad serve multiple students effectively? We are tasked with finding the right apps to put on the image to work best in an environment with multiple users.

What suggestions do you have?
