How do I put my pics from my laptop onto my ipad2?

Use Itunes...

In case that wasn't in depth for you, here you go:
Make sure they're in a folder in a location you know of and then connect your iPad. When iTunes comes up click the icon for your iPad and then find the photos tab at the top of the sync page. Make sure the 'sync photos' box is ticked then apply the setting using the 'apply' box in the bottom right of the sync window.
