Adobe Connect

We tried Adobe Connect  http://www.adobe.com/acom/connectnow/ for a virtual research meeting this morning and abandoned it about 45 minutes later.  It looked great.  Each of us tried to connect with two different computers.  The sound feedback was  awful.  We will have to let that site improve before attempting to use it again. 

iPad

I was able to use an iPad this weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it!  It was a bit smaller than I imagined from viewing pictures on the Web. It was a big iPod Touch or an iPhone without phone capabilities, but the clarity of the window and size of the icons made it really easy to use.  Because it is a large thin "glass book" the iPad case will be very important.  Read this morning that 1 million iPads have sold. 

I should be receiving my iPad within the next few weeks and now REALLY looking forward to using it.  The faculty who will lead the GCSU Faculty Development Workshops fall and spring semester are receiving an iPad to facilitate participants to learn how to use them.
