APPLES FOR TEACHERS . . . and students . . . and staff: Going 100% iPad

Presenter(s): 
Mitchel Winick, Monterey College of Law

Don’t hate me, it’s true. Monterey College of Law provided iPads for all students, faculty, and staff in an initiative that started in August 2010. This session will report on what happens when you let the inmates run the IT asylum. Technologists and administrators beware! Sometimes you just don’t need a documented pilot program to know that something is a good idea. Examples for discussion will include the iPad-BarBri connection, cloud study groups, apps that worked (and didn’t), iTunes U, and the law of unintended consequences.

App Development for Mobile Devices: Go Native, Go Web? What Types of Apps?

Presenter(s): 
Rich McCue, University of Victoria Faculty of Law

Deciding that you need a Mobile App for your law school or law library is the easy decision. Deciding whether you'll develop Native Apps for the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone, or focus on a Web App is the more difficult decision. In this session we will discuss the pros and cons of Native Mobile App development, as well as look at some of the limitations of HTML5 Mobile Web Apps.

Essential iPad Apps for Legal Academia

Presenter(s): 
Jennifer Wondracek, University of Florida College of Law

IPads are showing up everywhere in the law school: in student book bags, professors' brief cases and at the reference desk. This session will take a look at the most useful applications for law professors and librarians. We will look at apps for legal research, productivity, presentations, communication, and utilities (and perhaps a few "fun" apps, too). Some of the new features of the iPad 2 will also be highlighted.
