If you are thinking of introducing iPads in your school, then I think by far the best way to start is just by having a few in the teachers’ staff room and letting the teachers explore them and see what they can do with them.

Also, it is a story and as such is best told withiout interrupting with verbal questions. Here is a way to infuse the two together, asking questions while allowing the video to be watched uninterrupted.
