OMG - love the iPad2!! Have had it for only 1 week. Plan to have grad students in one of my courses this fall to use it to see what they discover (Yes, Debbie - I picked up on your lead with the RN-BSN students).
The front facing camera works really well with Skype. It will be a great way to have virtual office hours this fall semester.
The Emerging Technologies for Online Learning Conference emailed the conference program book and attendance list. Rather than print it, I saved it to the Dropbox and then opened it in iBooks. I won't have to print anything and will have the program book the entire conference.
Please share your experiences and apps with an iPad (1st or 2nd generation).
This blog serves two main purposes. It includes tips on learning using technology, especially as it supports the 5th edition of the textbook, Informatics & Nursing: Opportunities and Challenges, that I authored. The blog also includes tips about informatics strategies that add to the scholarship of nursing and teaching/learning excellence.
Thanks for "requiring" iPad use this Fall for class. I've wanted to get one & now had an OFFICIAL reason. I am looking forward to discovering it's many uses.
