i Teach with iPad by Kristi Meeuwse is one of the best blogs I have read about integrating iPads into the curriculum. She is a kindergarten teacher in SC an she does all her work with kindergarten students! She has her own dedicated iPad cart for her classroom but many of her ideas are focused on the students CREATING  their own content. Most of her ideas can be modified to fit any of the gradelevels in our classroom.
