How to Clone All Data to an iPad

Q: "How can I "clone" one iPad's contents to another? I was recently given 2 iPad for my classroom, and have set one of them up and it's ready to go as I'd like it to be. I would like to have the second one set up exactly the same way - but...well, how might I do this?
