ARTstor

     Thanks for hosting the seminar this morning. I found it very useful.
With the distribution of the VGA cables and adapter, I can finally put the iPad to full use in the classroom and begin to employ what I proposed to do. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to experiment and I welcome any app recommendations for visual presentations to complement the ARTstor software.
     If you're not familiar with ARTstor, it is a visual image bank licensed by the FSC library. It runs on it's own platform and will take the place of a PowerPoint presentation. Most of the Art history professors currently use ARTstor but I'm certain many other disciplines would find it very useful for image based presentations and  art image folder sharing with students. For instance, required material can be placed in a virtual file share with your classes.
     ARTstor has a mobile device app for iPad. Find it at <www.Artstor.org.>   You can get a password from Karen Gelles to log in.
I'm looking forward to the next info Seminar and I'm holding the last three Fridays in January open until I hear back from Michael Knauth with a confirmation.
     If anyone attends the University Club Luncheon on Wednesday, 11/20, you may just witness the first iPad presentation by this blogger. The food being prepared by Dr. Elgart is Mexican, in observance of Dia de la Revolucíon (Day of the Revolution.) The subject of the lecture will be, "Diego Rivera and the Mexican Revolution."
     Please note, my iPad experimentation on my colleagues before presenting to our students reflects my awareness and appreciation of all of your kind patience and understanding.
