How bad did the screen break? If it wasn't that serious, then you can have the screen repaired by having a plastic covering put over the screen to help protect the screen from being harmed when dropped, if it's to serious, you may have to purchase a new iPad, when I got my 1st iPad though, I dropped it in the bus line at school and broke the screen, but, there's some insurance you can get for an iPad if it breaks, and if you turn the broken iPad in, they will give you a new one for free in a couple of days.
But the insurance costs a lot of money and you have to get the insurance with the iPad when you buy it I think in order to turn it in, but still, if the screen is not damaged too seriously, you can have a plastic screen placed over it.
Hope this helped!
