There are so many things to like about using an iPad but I
have narrowed down a list of my top 10 things that I like about my Ipad here:
1. Fast on, Fast off – no long waits to get logged in.
2. Small and portable – we keep ours in the living room and
it is always getting passes around to look up info.
3. Words With Friends!!!
My name is Jeanvt if you want to play!
If you like scrabble, you will like WWF!
4. Dual cameras make for easy picture taking. I am currently trying to take a picture a day
to collect a year in photos and it is so easy to just grab the iPad and snap a
shot when the inspiration hits me!
5. Love listening to
podcasts or Hayhouse Radio – they have an app to listen in to some great shows.
6. Great for looking up recipes and using in the
kitchen. Hint, if you are going to be cooking messy stuff,
stick your IPad in a large ziplock bag to prevent it from getting all gunked
up.
7. Flipboard is a really beautiful app that gives you news
and articles of interest. It is fun to
ready and there are many great ideas to be found ! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flipboard/id358801284?mt=8
8. Ted talks – the app
is free and gives you access to some amazing thoughtful discussions about “Ideas worth spreading” All the talks are 20 minutes or less. A few of my favorite talks are given by:
Brene Brown, The Power
of Vulnerability,
Shawn Achor, The Happy Secret to Better Work
Elizabeth Gilbert, Nurturing Creativity
Shawn Achor, The Happy Secret to Better Work
Elizabeth Gilbert, Nurturing Creativity
9. ABC app – this app for the TV station lets me snuggle in
bed occasionally and catch up with Grey’s Anatomy~ http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player/id364191819?mt=8
10. Documents 2 is a
basic notepad/spreadsheet app that you
can take notes on and keep track of things.
I find myself using Documents 2 more and little pieces of paper here and there
less! It allows you to save your notes
up up to the Cloud using GoogleDocs
. In doing this way, you can get access
to your notes on any computer! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-2-free-spreadsheet/id314894105?mt=8
Hope you pick up a
good idea or 2 here. If you need help with your iPad or other gizmo, I would love to show
you the benefits of using one! If you
would like to have 1 on 1 iPad or other gizmo tutoring with me via Skype, Facetime or in
person(in Chittenden County, Vermont)
