Introduction+to+iPad

Objective: Today we want to provide students with some information about the iPad2’s we hope to distribute Wednesday at the end of the day.
 * Introduction to iPad2 (8/23)**


 * Bring your computer to advisory class. [Check your System Preferences > Sound and choose “Play sound effects through...” to make sure that the pull down menu is not set on Internal speakers but on the SmartBoard.]
 * Click on the following link to gain access to a menu of videos overviewing features and functions of the iPad2: @http://www.apple.com/ipad/guided-tours/

I suggest you show Mail, Safari, App Store and i-Books plus whatever they are interested in viewing.

For a series of videos on Microsoft Outlook, check out: Introduction to Microsoft Outlook I would check out Video: Outlook basics. Rather dry, but a good resource they may want to use later.
 * I wouldn’t get sucked into a discussion about not taking the iPad2’s home, but would reassure students that this is coming as soon as possible.

When they get their iPad2’s (or before, for those with online access), they will have an email from us with the final draft of the Scavenger Hunt attached and instructions for viewing an attachment. If they have not already done so, students should perform internet searches to answer as many questions as possible by Thursday, when we will go over these. [I’ll follow this email with details before Thursday’s advisory.]
