Interesting discussion focused on 1:1 implementation of iPads.

Three top concerns: 1) Filtering with BYOD 2) LMS on mobile devices - ie: Moodle on iPad 3) Gaming /classroom management issues - Same classroom management, different tools: passing notes vs. sending messages, cheating in commons vs. digital sharing
