Managing+iPads+(Sync+&+Charge)

A classroom set of iPads can be difficult to manage on a day-to-day basis. As a teacher, it's important to ask yourself a few questions before deploying the iPads:

• What's the most efficient way to sync all of the iPads to one laptop? • How will the iPads be charged on a daily basis? • Where will the iPads be stored when not in use? Will they be secured from theft?

Fortunately there are a variety of products available to help you answer these questions.
