I've been running a coding/tech club in a K-5 school and find the iPads work very well for younger students (K-2). Most are uncomfortable with trackpads and lack typing skills. The iPad is very intuitive and productive for them. I'm currently working through a short curriculum for K-2 using the Scratch Jr. app. Grades 3-5 use 11" Macbooks running the full Scratch application. The iPad's are a great way to prepare younger students for "real" computing. I would not recommend tablets as a primary computing device beyond 2nd grade as "creation" capabilities are limited; the iPad turns into a media consumption device at that age.
