Many educators have asked – “Is the iPad the correct tool to aid learning in education?” Having read several articles and well as witnessing first hand the implementation of iPad programs in several K12 educational establishments. I still don’t have a definitive answer, but I suppose it depends on the goals of your educational establishment and the age group of learners and what they need to achieve by using the iPad.

Hands On: iKeyboard Brings Touch Typing to the iPad [Macworld / iWorld 2012] | Cult of Mac
"The iKeyboard was another Kickstarter success story at Mocworld / iWorld 2012, garnering over 6 times what the required threshold was for funding. Its mission is to “addresses the one drawback of a tablet computer” which is the inability to touch type on the iPad’s virtual keyboard. Again, I’m not a fast typist — I definitely need to work on that to improve my overall productivity when writing. The iKeyboard gives me the opportunity to work on that on what is often my primary writing tool."
