Last week was a busy one–if you happened to blink, you might have missed:
On Tuesday, I shared some tips for using Dropbox or MobileMe to access files from your smart phone. This is very handy when traveling.
On Wednesday Amber provided a useful public service announcement: How to save any document as a PDF on a Macintosh computer.
Later that day, Amber also summarized Apple’s announcement of the iPad, a new device that sits somewhere between an iPhone and a laptop computer in terms of size and functionality. This news was so hot it crashed our server for a little bit!
On Thursday, Amber followed this up with a definition of tablet computers, in case you weren’t sure what this currently popular term meant.
Thursday as also Data Privacy Day, so I shared a video explaining the how and why of the data Google collects as you use their services. It’s less technical than it sounds, and worth a few minutes of your time.
On Friday we closed out the week with my thoughts on how educators might use the iPad. Everything is purely speculative at this point, but I hope the article at least gets you thinking beyond the product demonstration on Wednesday. If you have any thoughts on what I wrote or the iPad itself, be sure to share them in the post’s comments section.
As usual, we still found time to share quite a few links to interesting things we found throughout the week.
