IPAD

Hi! Ken, I am also an android user but have been enjoying this IPAD. As Lorraine mentioned and you did as well I enjoy the talkatone telephone feature. I also use Pages allot as well as bringing in documents from dropbox and cloudon. Working on projects, books, journal papers and a grant opportunity so this helps. I was at a (NG) Next Generation Manufacturing Conference and a Professor from Towson was using her IPAD to present with. She used it so professionally and efficiently,I was eager to start using and practicing that for my classes and presentations. She presented on the incredible lab she created for 3D Printing, where they have over 13 3d printers some dedicated to military applications, aerospace and so on...phenomenal presentation on that technology. I think she was using Keynote which is an great tool for that. I have been playing around with it. I have an issue since I wanted to use this IPAD in my MIS class with a virtual tool I have been using called mymislab but Pearson is not ready with the IPAD version yet, perhaps next semester according to my Pearson rep. I believe other professors use that tool in Math and Spanish I think?? I went to NorthEastern University today with my son...to look for places where I can spend my money...anyway upon arrival and registration for our tour the area for this activity was populated with more that 50 IPADS or so it seemed for all of the students and parents to use, my son was able to scan his entry card and have immediate access to all site info...I liked it...thought most students liked it..the counselors where free to help the many others while the rest of us played..and searched. I have recently installed siriusxm thinking music could help..I have not done diligence with Skype like I should but there's plenty more time too. I plan on using this in my ERP class since I individually go up to each student in the lab and going back n forth to the console which waists time, we'll see how that works out..will keep you all posted. I have remote access to the server but will have to play around. I need to get my textbooks on here ASAP. I have been enjoying this IPAD, thanks.
