iPads and Education
I've tried using iPads for teaching classes and found a few apps that are pretty handy for teaching Physics such as:
RI Physics (a list of A-Level H2 Physics formulae) by Raffles Institution
Vernier Video Physics by Vernier Software and Technology
Gas Laws HD Light by TJ Fletcher
While some students may not be able to afford an iPad or any other tablet for that matter, they might want to consider purchasing a second-hand iPad via Apple Singapore user marketplace if there is a good enough deal. With newer iPads coming out every few months, people are promptly off-loading their older versions at cheap prices.
