(iPad 1 or iPad 2 will be required)

Note: This hands on session exclusively focuses on downloading applications and creating content with an iPad. iPads will not be provided.  To fully engage and participant in the session, you will need an iPad with access to the iTunes Store for download.

In this workshop, participants will learn of a iPad app framework tailored for teaching and learning. Many of these apps in this classification framework will be demonstrated for the group, with an opportunity for several hands-on activities with a select few apps. An iPad 1 or 2 will be required.

The presenter will also discuss how content can be created on the iPad in new and innovative ways. Free- and commercial-based software that enable faculty to develop and distribute their own eBook content will also be discussed and demonstrated. Attendees will also learn about the iPad as an accessible device, including online resources that extend the usefulness of the device for the sight- and hearing-impaired.  Participants will be encouraged to share their own institution’s experiences with mobile learning initiatives.
