Carmen,
I know there are a number of districts piloting iPads this year. The two biggest deployments that come to mind are: Roslyn and Mineola. At Wantagh, we have a pilot involving 10 students and 2 teachers. Your best bet may be to reach out to Nassau BOCES (Matt Hejna) as he may be able to poll the districts. Perhaps do the same for Eastern/Western Suffolk BOCES as well.

It would be nice to see native AirPlay-based mirroring and support baked right into Keynote and other apps for iPad-driven presentations (sans the cable andthe computer) - Steve Jobs supposedly says "it's coming" in an email to a prospective customer a few months back:

The "Post-PC Era"?
With the recent announcement of Apple's iPad 2, CEO Steve Jobs took the stage to reignite Apple's "Post-PC" vision - one where hardware and technology become transparent and it's all about user creativity and the content. Others have also discussed the ongoing implication this could have in our schools.
I found these two articles worth sharing as we continue to discover more educational uses for tablet and mobile devices:
