Here's some suggestions for organizing your thoughts:

Goal: Improving student engagement so as to foster better learning

Getting started: how were you prepared, how did you prepare yourself, how did you prepare your students

Evidence of student engagement: time on task, attendance, tardies, completion of assignments, attentiveness, requests for the use of the iPad

Evidence of distraction of the technology: how often to remind them to stay on task, comments about liking a laptop better

Best projects and apps that you used and the students used.

Best strategy/ies for iPad use.

Wrap-up: final observation on the value of the experience, student attitudes, any changes since you don't have the iPads anymore.

And finally, if APS were going in the direction of iPads 1:1, what are your recommendations for PD?
