So you just got a new iPad, or are considering getting one…what next? Can you
actually use it for…WORK?!
This session will showcase apps for content preparation, presentation, and
assessment. Each demo will include an app show & tell along with ideas you can
use in each area of your teaching. Presenters, with help from the participants,
will provide quick reviews on apps you can use to prepare lectures and
information, present in the classroom and online, and assess your students’ work
with ease.
Experienced iPad users will be invited to share their favorite apps along with
successes, challenges and general customer reviews. Newbies and interested
parties are also more than welcome. Refreshments will be served.
Advance Registration Requested.
