Draw MD App

I discovered an amazing app in MERLOT today called Draw MD.  The app is free and includes anatomical drawings that the user can annotate with drawing and text tools.  The drawings can be saved, printed, or emailed for further use.  You can learn more about the app at http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=906206 

The YouTube video below provides information about the urology drawing and associated tools.  

Whiteboard Sharing app

This weekend I attended the Southern Regional Faculty Development and Instructional Consortium (SRFDIC)meeting at Auburn University. Besides lots of networking with great friends, the presentations were fantastic. Those of us with iPads had a terrific time sharing apps. Whiteboard sharing (http://www.greengar.com/apps/whiteboard/ ) is an interesting concept. It allows two devices (iPhones and iPads) to connect via wifi to share drawings. I experimented with my iPhone and iPad this morning. I noted a few seconds time lag, but it worked flawlessly! It might be useful when designing models to convey concepts collaboratively.
