Technology Support - I'm giving a presentation on using iPads tomorrow. What are your questions/suggestions/tips for me?

I'm the Technology coach at our school and I was asked to give a presentation at our meetings tomorrow about using iPads in the classroom. We've got a set of about 20 iPads that can be used throughout the school. I'm planning on setting up some sign-out sheets for the teachers to use (similar to our laptop cart/computer lab).

Right now, I am the only one who can download/add apps to the iPads - we had to remove the iTunes store from them as students were downloading games and mis-using them. I'm planning on explaining how/why I get the apps on the iPads as well as demoing a couple of apps with the teachers. Previously I've asked teachers to share with me any apps they'd like downloaded OR I can find apps for them to try if they give me a purpose (ex/ a teacher asked for apps to use for Current Events in her Social Studies 5/6 class).

What are your best tips and suggestions for me to share with the rest of the staff? What would your questions be if you were given a presentation like this?

I'm feeling a little lost on what kind of information to present to the staff and I don't want them to feel like I'm wasting their time. Thanks for the help!
