iPad for Learning Sessions

The iPad is a useful tool for learning. We will be sharing ideas for instructional use and exploring the boundaries of this great tool. Each weekly Tuesday session will highlight a different topic: Intro, Skype, Evernote, and Dropbox. Attendees should bring their 2nd generation iPad or newer. Join the conversation on how the iPad tool can be used for innovative and engaging teaching and learning.

Due to limited seating registration is required. All sessions will be held on Tuesdays from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM in Learning Commons study rooms (coffee shop level). If you have any questions, please contact Brent at bhirata [at] hawaii [dot] edu.

Set Skype free, this application is fantastic on the iPad!  No more aiming a quirky web camera, funny headset or carrying an awkward laptop around.  Use Skype on the iPad to connect with people, instructor-to-student, student-to-student in your online course.

A great way to take notes, capture audio and even attach pictures using your iPad and access them from multiple computers.

Dropbox

Make the most of your new found mobility with the iPad by using Dropbox to store your files.  A (free) Dropbox account allows you to store and access up to 2 GB of files online.  The content can also be copied to and synchronized with your home computer, office computer and on the go via your iPad (with Dropbox app installed).
