My Take
Great tool, but can become solely direct instruction easily depending on how the teacher creates the presentation. I encourage the use of student activities in the lesson.
How I Use It
I use this app to facilitate a short professional development session called 5 ways to use the iPad in the classroom. It's a an app I do recommend to all content area teachers. You do need to be connected to Wifi to use it and allow it to pass through the filter.

While this will not be a problem for me personally, I can see this being an issue for larger classes in a college setting.
