We are a 1:1 ipad school and I love it! I have found many uses for technology in my classroom - see previous posts about using google slides, Crossword Puzzles, etc.
But one thing I never thought I would use is a Discussion Board. I can see the value in a discussion board in an English or History course, but I didn't really feel that it would be something I would use in my high school math class.
