iLike the iPad for day-to-day
I attended the PSUG of Michigan Summer Conference in Battle Creek, June 27-28.
My friends from Brother Rice let me borrow a gen1 iPad (thanks Br. Rice!).
I used it both days of the conference and while not everyone agrees (see 10 Things Netbooks still do better than iPads), I found it to be an adequate replacement for carrying my notebook.
One of the things I kept thinking about during the conference was "wouldn't this be a great device to use if I was still in school..." Bingo! I think the iPad or a like device is only a year or two from changing students' lives.
Here are a few things I found:
- Middle School Math a Perfect Fit... (iPADModo)
- 10 iPad Apps that Preschoolers will Enjoy... (Examiner)
- Replacing a Pile of Textbooks with an iPad (NY Times)
Guide for busy people
I may have stumbled upon the ultimate guide for busy people. This entry from Zen Habits (click here) lays out things you can do at work, at home and on the computer to save time.
Some of these entries look pretty familiar - as in things I have tried but haven't been able to stick with (ie. At Home #5 - don't watch too much TV).
Anyways, this list should save time (no pun intended) as you make your New Year's resolutions.
