Some exceptional ideas and thoughts about not only making assessment meaningful, but also on using the iPad for both formative and summative assessment.
Even better, this is another example of those who are implementing 1-to-1 programs with the iPad, sharing successes and failures, for others to learn from.

Thanks to @KathySchrock for pointing this article out, and thanks to GigaOM for the information. Following the steps in this article, you can turn your iPad into an honest-to-goodness phone, capable of both sending and receiving calls to cell phones and land lines. Very cool!

Thanks to Theresa Wilson for passing this article along to me. There are some fantastic rubrics here to evaluate educational apps for mobile devices based on relevance to the curriculum, ability to customize, level of student feedback, encouragement of thinking skills, level of engagement, and performance sharing.
Also included in the article are other app evaluation tools from around the country. If you are using the iPad, iPod or other app-driven mobile devices in your classroom, this is certainly worth a look.
