Are you assessing your students with the Star program by Renaissance Learning?  We assess our students 3-4 times per year with this program.  We ran into some issues  in our K-1 building.  The building was not equipped with a computer lab.  There was just 5 stations per room.  This posed a serious problem when assessing the students.  That is when the iPad carts came into save the day!  We loaded the "Star" app on the iPads and we were able to assess the entire class!  What a huge saving s of time for the teachers!  The app works great on the ipads, the only negative part about the app is that the URL had to be manually put into each iPad in the star app.  It stores on the ipad, but if the student clicks on "settings", it can be easily removed.  Students loved taking the assessment on the iPads!  I highly recommend this app!
