How to use iPad in a Spanish Classroom?

Hello,

My mom is a high school Spanish teacher and is thinking about getting an iPad for her to use in her classroom. Since it is a significant investment in a device, I would like to know the most useful ways that she might be able to use it to teach Spanish.


Helpful details:


-We are thinking about getting the black 32 GB Wi-Fi only iPad 2 (is 32 GB enough if you want to do a lot of video recording?)

-Her classroom computer is Windows XP and she might be able to bring in her laptop (Windows 7)

-Her classroom has a projector with a VGA input (can you do video mirroring with that?)


Also, does anybody know of any apps that would be useful? I have found a few on my iPod touch, but I want to know if there are any iPad-only apps (like a Spanish newspaper) that I otherwise wouldn't be able to access on my iPod touch. In addition, she wants to find a programmable concentration/memory game app since she hasn't found any by searching the App Store on my iPod touch.


Thank you for any suggestions,

O.C.

With regard to video, the iPad 2 does mirroring with both the HDMI and VGA adapters. One problem i"ve noticed, is that the weight of the cable tends to unplug the adapter from the iPad. This might be a problem when walking around holding the iPad. Someone suggested duct tape!
