You are invited: Leading with the iPad

You are invited: Leading with the iPad  
iPads have become a favorite with students, teachers and some administrators.  We are seeing more and more of them being integrated into the daily lessons for students, and they are transforming the way that students learn.
The iPad can also transform the way that administrators lead.  This session, entitled “Leading With the iPad”  will offer basic tips on how school administrators can move beyond using it for email and show how they can use many of the unique iPad’s features and apps to maximize their productivity.
Session topics include:
  • Using iPad apps and features for classroom observations and documentation of critical events
  • Using free Apps to manage workflow and increase productivity
  • Time saving communication tips
  • Text entry tips: Keyboard typing shortcuts
  • How to use the iPad as an extension of your office
  • Using cloud-based file syncing programs and services
  • Managing iPad general controls, navigation and other time saving techniques
  • Exploring and downloading apps that every administrator should have
  • Evaluating and downloading the best apps for productivity, communication and educational use
This is a hands-on, interactive seminar.  All participants will need to have iPad and will need an Apple ID since we will examine and download fee apps from the Apple iTunes store during the session.  

Participants will receive a certificate acknowledging 6 hours of completed CEU credits.
