What's Happenin' NOW!

I am looking forward to my meeting on "The Fifth Floor" of UHall on Monday at 10am. Jae Ahn has agreed to meet with me to suggest, clarify, and guide me regarding my iPad use, both for our class and for the Student Research Symposium, at which I am presenting, in April. I also have spent some awesome exploratory time working with Assemblee and Idea Flight. These are apps which have been recommended by Dr. Sotillo.

So far, with Assemblee, I have been able to invent a faux meeting or two and send emails to the class. Btw, my supervisor from the SCCC library, where I work, is also on my email list for the iPad use. I hope that is ok with everyone. She is one of the other few people whom I know who is an avid iPad user and is always looking for ways to maximize on owning her device. Further, she is hoping to learn more about the apps and whatnot that I am learning about to see if we could use iPads to make our department keep up with the times and run more smoothly. She and I have spent a considerable amount of time together sharing what we know, and that has resulted in a lot of purposeful fun over the past months!

Right...so back to Assemblee...I have not found a way to color-code text on this app yet. Perhaps this one will be best utilized as a general meeting app, instead of a presentation app...We shall see. My husband actually laughed out loud when I showed him some of this app's features, btw! The fact that one could respond with the "boredom meter" cracked him up! It's nice to know that the app geeks either 1) care about keeping up a high rate of interest, or 2) have a great sense of humor! (You decide!)

Next, I am going to give Idea Flight another, more critical look. As I am ready to bring out the credit card, I expect to enter a whole new level of glorious geekdom! My goal is to acquire a whole new set of multimedia related skills which I will then use to enhance my teaching prowess! Educreations has been helpful, and now I am ready for the next challenge! Now the pressure is really on!

Until next time~~
