If you want to use it for school, the best way is to get an app like dropbox or google drive and throw all your notes/textbooks on there.
Grab a compact wireless keyboard and take notes that way. All I ever have to bring to class is my ipad and my wireless keyboard.
This is the only way I've ever gotten use of my ipad. Gaming, reading, drawing, watching, etc are all inferior to other devices/resources.
