So, I decided to pre-order the all new 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G iPad. Should be getting it around the second week in May. Access to the 3G network was only $15 per month and no contract. That means, I don’t have to look for all those Wi-Fi hot spots. I’ll be able to login anywhere/anytime with 24/7 access. BTW, AT&T did not pay me to say what I just said. :)
How do I plan to use the iPad? Here’s an example. Last Saturday I bought new tires and had to wait 2 hours. So, I walked to McDonald's, ordered a cup of coffee and read the newspaper cover to cover. Instead, I could have used those same two hours working in my classes over the same cup of coffee at McDonald's. Could I have done that using my MacBook? Yes, I could have. But the Wow! factor just would not have been there.
So, should we start a blog on how we can use the iPad in our profession? Another one of my visions is to have CCCOnline be a premier online college that is known for being iPad friendly. I think it would neat if we could come up with some cool applications designed just for us. That's the Wow! factor I'm talking about!

ReplyDeleteAl, creating some CCCOnline iPad apps would be awesome! I think we'll continue to see a shift toward not only the iPad but also mobile learning in general, so it will be interesting to see how this all develops.
