Richard Byrne (whose blog iPad Apps for School is worth checking) posted a list of studies about research into iPad use in schools. Direct link to the post is here.

iTunesU & the NYCDOE

iTunesU is a built-in "core" app on every iPad. It is a great way to get free courses from many different sources, including many Ivy League Colleges and app developers.
