Students in one algebra class at Presidio Middle School got lucky enough to be chosen for a pilot program by Houghton Harcourt Mifflin publishing in which they get a free iPad with a full curriculum algebra app. The intention is for the kids to use the iPads to help them solve tough math problems through tutorial videos, etc, and for each to be able to customize their algebra education.

The result, if we had to guess, will be the kids outwitting the teachers with the number of "unapproved" apps they can load onto the things, which will allow them to secretly chat with each other, FatBooth the teacher, play games, and watch SNL clips while they should be doing homework.
