Sifting Through The Massive Amounts of Information Using Flipboard
Flipboard is an amazing tool on the iPad that can gather resources from around the web: videos, tweets, blog posts, news articles pertaining to so many subjects. Efficiently organizing all the resources into "magazines" for future viewing is easy. Allowing students to be collaborators and contributors to specific magazines leads to concise resources specific to content. See how this process works with students as these resources lead into students creating TEDtalks, on stage in front of their peers.

Leave this session with the one best consumption tool that will help you discover resources for your content area which can lead to your students utilizing this amazing tool to discover their personal learning interests.

Automating Your iPad - Making It Work For You!
Making the iPad Work For You: Workflow is an amazing app that "runs specific steps" so that the iPad really does do the work! Create ""workflows" to accomplish many different tasks.

This is a somewhat challenging concept and may need two hours if we truly want to get the attendees to leave with personal products to make them more efficient.
This is a PAID app, but worth every penny!
