Tech Talk: Brown Bag Session on iPads
Are you thinking about using an iPad in your academic work in or out of the classroom? If you have an iPad, are you using it to its full potential? Come join in the conversation with colleagues who have an iPad and want to share their tips and techniques with you. We will demonstrate some of the popular and not so well known apps. Some of them have a fee and some are free.
We will also talk about useful settings, updating your software, connecting to other devices, sharing data with the cloud and password protecting the device. Bring your lunch and iPad (if you have one) or just come and see if an iPad is something you should invest in.
