We installed Find my iPad through iCloud. We have not needed to use it because we have a strong circulation policy<http://blog.spu.edu/librarytechdesk/files/2012/09/iPad-Checkout-Policy-2012.pdf> that will fine the students if they are late or do not return it. The fine goes directly to their student account (won't be able to register for classes, for example).

The idea is if a student does, in fact, steal the device, they will be locked out of actually utilizing it. Has anyone heard of something like this? Many thanks!
