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.
