Bulk send photos from computer to iPad

There are plenty of apps that will send photos from the iPad to the computer, but not the other way round. I have been getting teachers to use Dropbox to transfer selected photos but it is time consuming. Does anybody know of a way/app to  transfer lots of photos to iPad but not using iTunes sync?

    We have created emails for our ipads so can email photos to ipads. We did 10 photos the other day and you can save them all at the same time. They were then in Photos ready to use.

    I use Photo-Sort for iPad [$2.59] - uses ftp to transfer bulk photos from computer to iPad wirelessly.

    theres a Photo Transfer app.. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app/id365152940?mt=8

    and probably a few others too..

    also you can get a bit of apple hardware that allows you to slot in your sd card and it automatically displays the photos on the card and you can bring over the ones you want. Its about $50 tho and plugs directly into the iphone/itouch/ipad connector.

    I use photosync, does both way using free app on mac/win. Will do a ton of other ones as well. i.e. dropbox, ftp etc. http://www.photosync-app.com/

    I have also set up our iPads with an email address and have found this the quickest way to get photos onto the iPad.  Really easy to select an image or all images and they save to camera roll.

    Thanks all for  your suggestions, this is what I tried and what worked well starting with the best

    • emailing photos,  export from iPhoto or Photos library and compress if images are too big, email to email address on iPad, tap on the share button and tap on 'Save # images', the images go to Camera Roll
    • Photosync app, costs $2.59 similar to Photo transfer but you need to download the Photosync app companion to your computer to send photos/videos from computer to iPad, photos transferred very quickly. Also transfers to Dropbox, Google Drive, Flickr etc. No limit on number. Buy once and use on all devices (iPods, iPhones)
    • Photo transfer app, costs $4.19 transfers photos and videos from computer to iPad and the reverse iPad to Computer, a little slower than emailing but still worked quite well. Limit of 200 photos at a time. Buy once and use on all devices (iPods, iPhones)
    • Photo Sort app, costs $2.59 found that one difficult to use with a lot to setup, some teachers would find this tricky to use

    So the free option of emailing worked the best but I think that I will also recommend using Photo sync and/or Photo transfer as well for the other choices they offer. Thanks for all your help!
