Learning about the iPad

Great workshop today at Hershey Lodge. Learned and used an iPad and got a great wiki with much info about the ipad. Lots of talk about how to use the iPad in a classroom setting and some good apps. I learned what the ePub format does and found that Adobe InDesign allows you to save as an ePub file so you can take teacher materiels and create ebooks. This is great because this can then be read on the iPad, with video, hyperlinks, and audio embedded. This works just like the Nook or Kindle. The ebook is a free app on the iPad and some of the books are free. I'm not ready to buy the iPad until it has a port for the flashdrive. This was a very worthwhile day!!! So glad to be at the Pete and C again.
