School banning use of iPads

We just purchased several iPads and are using them in our school. We were just told that the iPads Re taking up a significant amount of our bandwidth and that is threatening our networks ability to run online testing. So the district is collecting all the iPads until they have a solution to the problem. They told us thAt like all apple products the iPad does not allow them to control the kind/amount of bandwidth they use. Is there anything we can do about this?

I'm deploying a lot of iPads in a school setting. Traffic shaping should be occurring at a network level, not a device level. I suppose that if they are allocating varying limits of bandwidth to different classes of users, and the iPads are not authenticating to a directory structure (like Active Directory -which can be accomplished with Radius wifi authentication), they are unable to determine the user type. Even so, if they don't know the device user, they should be able to default them to the lowest bandwidth category. Same goes for filtering. If we can't determine who is at a device, it defaults to the most restrictive student content filter. Additionally, I would be very surprised if an iPad could use even half the network bandwidth that an average laptop consumes. Your school IT system may be tied to a legacy traffic shaping technology that supports WIndows workstations only. If this is the case, it's time to upgrade.

We have 30 ipads at our school and it is great. We are about 850 student on my school and everyone are using the ipads. One hour at the time. (we have a booking system.)
I teach music and are using Garageband. I need to find away were my students that are working on a project can export the files and save them somewhere, so when they 7 days later open Garage band can import there song with all the correct midi-tracks. When I export the song to Icloud the song become an Mp4 file (I think). And I can import the files via Icloude.
This is because too many times the song has been sabotages during the week

Dan,
your students could store their projects in iCloud, only you would continously have to change the AppleIDs of the iPads, so each student could store the songs with their own AppleID. I don't think this will be feasable.
The other possibility would be to share the projects to iTunes and to download them to iTunes on a Mac at the end of each lesson. Does your school have Macs? This will not work with PCs.

Look at the section "Share GarageBand songs",

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

Not as such.
Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

I am a school administrator. I want to know if anyone knows how to use an ipad wireless hard drive as a storage device for individual student work files that are only accessible to the student or teacher?

I need to use an ipad wireless hard drive as a storage device. I want the student to do work on the iPad , then save it securely on the hard drive, then be able to go back and get the file and continue working on it. Can this be done?

We use google apps for education with the google drive ipad app
The google drive editor is basic. But it meets our needs. Students go to the app called "google drive". They logon and start a document on an iPad and then edit again using almost any device anywhere(home or school): ipad, windows7, mac, android.
We setup each student account with folders for each teacher. Students can move documents into their teacher folder, and then the teacher can edit in real time with the studnet. It's like a multi player editor.
There's no quick fix to allow students using ipads to save work, then revise alone or with the help of a teacher.
You could also use skydrive, dropbox, or filebrowser, but the ability of ipad apps to edit and save revisions is spotty. It depends if that app developer has added support. You can see your MS Word doc files with those tools, but I don't know if you can edit the DOCX file, then save back to DOCX files.

We recived ipads today in school to use as a tool and they said if i sync it to my itunes my itunes will be erased and all the ipad stuff currently on there would be erased the second i connect to the school i was wondering if this was possible?

we recived ipads today in school to use as a tool and they said if i sync it to my itunes my itunes will be erased and all the ipad stuff currently on there would be erased the second i connect to the school i was wondering if this was possible? i already pointed a couple things that they said was true but were false like useing that find my ipad thing were it just zooms in on your location they also said it would beep and they can track it anywhere witout a 3g network which we use the wi fi. teachers can connect to itunes i belive becasue they don't have the same rescrtictions as use students but early in the year they said one teacher tried and failed with the results that said would happen to use. besides ristrictions like loseing the app store and not being aloud to open any app wemb adresses we are to add music via the itunes that i already on the ipad. i was just wondering if there full of it right now because i think they are.

If I were a teacher setting up iPads to be used at school/work, I wouldn't link it to my personal iTunes, rather I'd create/use a different one. If for no other reason than to keep the kidlets and your fellow teachers from possibly accessing your account.

What are some useful apps for school work on the iPad?

I am a middle school student and I need some apps to do school work on my iPad Mini. Do you know any?

Pages is a good word processor. Other apps will depend on the subject matter...there are dozens of great math and science apps in the app store. Which ones to get depend on exactly what courses you are taking.

How do I use my iPad as a second screen with my macbook pro?

I've got splashtop streamer for my ipad. In school my computer teacher has two monitors and she is able to drag stuff from one screen to the other. If i was streaming to my ipad, how could i use it as a second screen? and how could I do this with any old monitor?
BTW if you dont know splashtop streamer, it is a software that lets you stream content from a computer or laptop to a wireless device, such as an iPad.

Splashtop only has the ability to mirror your Mac's single screen. It does not let your iPad work as a second screen.
You need an app that is designed to turn your iPad into a real second monitor.
I use Air Display to move all of my pallets to one screen when I am working with my graphics programs on my Mac. I keep my iPad connected to my iMac to keep it charged while I am using my iPad in this manner.

I want to use an IPad (w/retina display-newest) in my church hooked up to a projector

I want to use an IPad (w/retina display-newest) in my church hooked up to a projector and shown on a screen. I'd like to do it wirelessly as the projector will be installed in the ceiling. I am not sure exactly what I would need to get this set up. I do not have wifi at church or cellular but would be getting the iPad (not yet purchased) with wifi only. If I use Apple TV to hook up the projector to, would it need wifi to work if I will only be using the ipad for documents, worksheets (much like what a school/professor would use) or other things that an app could do (draw a line, etc.)

Epson projectors have such a feature, so if you're going to buy a new projector, you might start with their units. The app is described here:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Landing/ProjectorApp.do
and there's a projector compability list linked from the very bottom of the page. There may be other projector manufacturers with similar apps, but I don't know for sure. All will probably also require a local WiFi network set up, though said network should not need Internet access if that's an issue for you.

I have 2 IPads one for me and the other for my daughter. However, my Ipad was stolen during a bulgary and I reported it lost thru apple. However, now my daugher is unable to use her Ipad because the apple ap show it is lost. How can I change this?

My home was recently burgarlized and one of my Ipads were stolen.(Thank God my daughter had hers at school). However, I went online to report my Ipad lost thru apple but now My daughter is unable to Log into the apple account and/or use her Ipad due to being lost. How can I correct this so she can use her Ipad?
Thank you

If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe. The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however. If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

For college/grad school should i get ipad 3 or mac book air?

for college/grad school should i get ipad 3 or mac book air?

Nobody can tell you which one is best for you, it's a personal preference. However, here are a few factors you might want to take into consideration:
1-They're two different devices that serve different purposes. The way you take notes in an iPad is different than the way you would on a MBA. On the iPad, with apps like Evernote and Notability you can take more complete notes than with a MBA. You have the option to have audio notes, write with a Stylus, make diagrams by hand to explain/relate concepts easily. With the external keyboard (for that I'd recommend using the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the InCase Origami Workstation) you could type just as fast as you would on a MBA and format the text just like you would on the MBA. However, for bigger (possibly partner) papers, the MBA would help you. You could start the paper on the iPad without any issues (using Pages or even Evernote) but you'd need a laptop/computer to finalize the project.
2-Portability wise, they're both incredibly light. The iPad is somewhat smaller = lighter but with the keyboard they're about the same. The fact that with the ipad + keyboard combo you can take out the keyboard only when you need it, for me, is an advantage be ause when I don't want to use it, it's not in the way. For others, it's a disadvantage because you have to carry two items instead of one.
3-MBA let's you access all websites and most file types. If one of your classes requires you to go to the Browser and see a Flash enabled page, the iPad would not be of much help. Same goes for any programs you might need to install. On the MBA you'll most likely be able to do so. On the iPad, chances are there won't be an app for that.
4-Aonce you already have a MBP, I'd go for the iPad. If/when the iPad falls short(because of the limitations mentioned above) you can use the laptop. And in the mean time, use the iPad for everything else. That way you get the best of both worlds. You'd only need to take the MBP when you know you'll need it and wont have to carry that weight all the time.
6-Studying (reading, highlighting, annotating) is easier and more intuitive on the iPad. The iPad is great for reading, combine that with the fact that you can leave comments/notes just like you would on a physical piece of paper, and you've got the best way to learn IMO.

Using an iPad with a stylus for class notes

I am considering purchasing an ipad school. I am a full time nursing student that has a 2 inch thick binder full of papers, and I am not even half way through with the term. I would like to purchase the ipad 2 with a stylus so I can take hand written notes in my key note presentations.
Does anyone have any advice or experience using the ipad this way? Is there a program/software that works well in the way that I want to use it?
In advance, thank you for the advice. (:

There are several note taking programs out there, but the one I've been using with good success is NoteTaker HD. You can use it with a stylus and organize your notes in any way you like. It's got a lot of options, so it is very customizable to the way you work.

Here's a YouTube demonstration of how it works:

Can I use the iPad to create video of notetaking with audio?

I'm looking to use iBook Author to create some units of study for my students. I want to create a video that is just of my notes (not of my hand writing the notes) and an audio of me explaining what I'm doing while I'm writing the notes. Is there a way to use the iPad for this, or is there a program or an app that I could use for this? I also have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone in addition to my iPad.
Edited to add: What I'm thinking of is somewhat like the Khan Academy uses to teach students in their videos. It's just their writing with audio, but it's not a video of them writing, which makes me think that there's some app or software they're using to show the notetaking that records audio and turns it into a video.

Screenchomp is a good app that we use at a school for this - its owned by Techsmith, the same company that owns Jing and Camtasia, two leaders in the market. Two other options to look at (which I preferred to Screenchomp) are ShowMe and Educreations.
If you're just looking at a co Peter based solution for the MacBook,mid recommend screencast-o-matic.

Using an iPad in Bermuda

Does any one in Bermuda, who is using a Bermuda credit card, find it impossible to register a valid account? I keep getting told that my card is invalid. I have also noted that I get messages telling me that an app is unavailable in Bermuda.

Sorry, but there are no discounts on the iPad from any source. Apple offers no educational discounts on the iPad, and the margins are too small for any dealer that carries the iPad to offer any discount either. In a couple of months or so we may see refurbished units start to appear in the Apple Store, though based on what the iPod touch sells for as a refurbished unit, we'll still probably only see a 10% to 15% discount.
As to other teachers using the iPad, it's pretty new so few people probably have much actual experience using one in the classroom. You might want to contact your local Apple account executive - if your school/district can't give you contact information, you can call Apple (in the US call 800-800-2775), speak to someone in inside sales, and ask. Then contact the account exec and tell them of your interest in being connected to other teachers who are using or considering the iPad for classroom use.
Regards.

Seeking information (preferably journal articles, but not only) on use of iPad for speech therapy - inpatient of outpatient

Any information on use of iPad for speech therapy in hospital or for outpatients of any age - Has this field begun to develop? TIA

Now that was one **** of an answer Jonathan... Lol.
Although I can't give you a full text (sorry, University rules), I might have something for you.
Title: Using iPods® and iPads® in teaching programs for individuals with developmental disabilities: A systematic review
Author: Kagohara, Debora M. ; van der Meer, Larah ; Ramdoss, Sathiyaprakash ; O’Reilly, Mark F. ; Lancioni, Giulio E. ; Davis, Tonya N. ; Rispoli, Mandy ; Lang, Russell ; Marschik, Peter B. ; Sutherland, Dean ; Green, Vanessa A. ; Sigafoos, Jeff
Subjects: Developmental disabilities ; Teaching programs ; iPod ® ; iPad ® ; Systematic review
Is Part Of: Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2013, Vol.34(1), pp.147-156 [Peer Reviewed Journal]
Description: Highlights► Reviewed use of iPads® and related devices for teaching persons with developmental disabilities. ► Devices used to teach skills from five domains. ► Devices used to deliver prompts or access preferred stimuli. ► Results were largely positive. ► iPads® and related devices are viable for use in teaching this population.
We conducted a systematic review of studies that involved iPods®, iPads®, and related devices (e.g., iPhones®) in teaching programs for individuals with developmental disabilities. The search yielded 15 studies covering five domains: (a) academic, (b) communication, (c) employment, (d) leisure, and (e) transitioning across school settings. The 15 studies reported outcomes for 47 participants, who ranged from 4 to 27years of age and had a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or intellectual disability. Most studies involved the use of iPods® or iPads® and aimed to either (a) deliver instructional prompts via the iPod Touch® or iPad®, or (b) teach the person to operate an iPod Touch® or iPad® to access preferred stimuli. The latter also included operating an iPod Touch® or an iPad® as a speech-generating device (SGD) to request preferred stimuli. The results of these 15 studies were largely positive, suggesting that iPods®, iPod Touch®, iPads®, and related devices are viable technological aids for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Sure, assuming you don't have an iPad from a region where FaceTime is banned, and further that it is an iPad 2 or higher.
