Covers and Cases
There is no one size fits all. What works for an elementary teacher and students may not work at secondary.

Cases with Handstraps to allow teacher to walk around classroom
These offer rear protection - you need to buy an Apple Smart cover for front protection!! [] http://www.modulrcase.com/store/ipad-2-case-with-hand-strap.html

Sleeve for ipad
Good for taking them home because they have pockets for cords. http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Premium-Quality-Neoprene-Sleeve/dp/B0036F447Q

Friday December 16th 1:1PLC Work Day Can we please order a few of each of these to test out in the classroom? Thinking for teacher use, but if we use the ipad as a video recorder/camera, you may want them for students as well.

This one has a nicer handle, and is also smart cover compatible:

[] I chose the orange one for my personal preference.

Protect the back -- and the front -- of your iPad 2 with the REV360 Smart Cover Compatible edition, compatible with the Apple Smart Cover. Comfortably use your iPad while turning it for optimal viewing and easy manipulation of the touch screen without accidentally launching apps or randomly scrolling. Show friends, present to colleagues, interact without constraints.

Regardless of which of these we order, I suggest sleeves to protect all of it. []

 * Apps come from iTunes Store and we can use VPP, what about electronic texts?
 * Where do we get books that are not in iTunes Store? Brian's Song, The Chosen
 * Try Barnes and Noble or Amazon - We are unsure how the school district purchases from these two companies.


 * Did we ever come up with any policy concerning students and their iPads? (what happens if they break, get stolen, are sold on ebay?
 * On the day that the students get their iPads - can someone (maybe Tim) come and talk to my class about any policy stuff that has been created? Will the students be signing anything??
 * A few different times the issue of covers has come up. My students will be taking them home with them and they need covers for their iPads. Can we get a few to try out? Ideally the cover will have a keyboard attached and also maybe a pocket for their plug. Here are a few links of ones that I found - neither have pockets - I am still looking for those.

 * Are we going to be getting screen protectors for the ipads? It might help to keep the screens clean as well as protect it.
 * Will the students the keyboards? So many kids at have a hard time typing, touching might be even more of an issue.
 * Can students create their own iTune accounts?
 * Can they buy any apps they want?
 * Is their going to be an insurance policy for kids that take iPads home?
 * Will there be a special TrackIt or will Snoopy be modified?
 * Will we be getting a few extras if new students enter or a one breaks?

 * Catherine Gregory and my suggestions for a cover for the ipad are by www.uzibull.com and is called the ekto 2 available at amazon.
 * Meggie New- Hard Candy Case Street Skin Case for Apple ipad 2 This has a front cover which would be better for ipad protection.
