We are doing the first iPad Exploration session on Friday. I know that
many of you have or are thinking of getting iPads. (If you don't have one
already, don't buy one until after March 7th! Big Apple announcement
coming out that day.) We will be covering three topics: basic iPad use,
the Safari iPad web browser, and iBooks. We know some people
didn't/couldn't sign up because they had a time conflict or getting to the
University Center at the Gables campus for the session was inconvenient.
1) We have set up a webinar so that anyone can participate, assuming
everything works tomorrow the way it worked today. If you would like to
participate via the webinar, go to http://iacevents.org/ and click on the
title "iPad Exploration". Then fill out the form to register for the
event. I will send out the webinar links to everyone has registered. I
don't need to know in advance who will be in the room and who won't. The
Blackboard Collaborate (formerly Elluminate) system that we will be using
uses the speakers in your computer for the sound. Depending on where you
are, you might want to use headphones.
I know that there are some people who subscribe to this list and are not
in Miami. You are most welcome to participate in the webinar, too! In
fact, a number of people are bringing family or guests to the session, and
I welcome everyone.
2) We will record the session and make it available on-line afterwards. So
if you cannot attend on Friday, wait for the announcement of the links to
the videos. The announcement will be sent to everyone who registers as
well as this mailing list.
I hope that these additions allow more people to participate in this first
session of our exploration of the iPad. If you will be participating on
Friday, please be sure to register via the http://iacevents.org/ web site.
If you will be watching the sessions once the video is released, you don't
need to register or anything, but you can, if you would like to get two
notices of the links to the videos.
