View the iPad more as a media device than a "computer" proper. In fact, don't view it as a computer at all.

Seriously, if you're using it for normal teachers' work, you need a laptop and not an iPad. You'll quickly be frustrated with creating documents on the iPad, sharing will be difficult, and "normal" linked-PC functions (like dragging/dropping off a network drive) won't work in intuitive fashions. Although the NYT will look great if you take the subway, everything else will be a slog.

The iPad is cool, but its functionality doesn't align with your needs at all. Like, not even a little bit.
