10. LIMITATIONS Regular classroom had computer access thus negating need for ipad device Ipad devices could not project wirelessly onto screen (only instructor) Still never found a good direct iPad to iPad connection (had to use a third source..website or app) Drop box was not a real fluid/ease of use method of file transfer

11. LESSONS LEARNED iPads could be used as a textbook replacement iPads were helpful when engaging in Lab Activities The ipad did not work so much as a replacement of other classroom instruction tools but rather an enhancement The ipad definitely helped with making better presentation of material iMovie results not currently completed iBook results not currently completed
