[Michlib-l] iPad for beginners

[Mark Morton]

I use a handout that I created (attached) that is about as basic as I can get. The iPad does so many things that I try to do a few things that the workshop attendees will remember. I also depend heavily on questions from the attendees so they can get specific information on things that they are having problems with or may be interested in. I find that all the attendees usually get something from these questions. I also combine iPad and iPhone in these workshops since the operating systems are the same which makes the functionality virtually the same for both. 

I tried a “iPad: Beyond the Basics” workshop but I had about half the attendees that needed the basics, so that it didn’t work out well with such a range of knowledge levels in the class.

I draw heavily from the New York Public Library website which has handouts available for their workshops in PDF form.

We hope to be offering an iPad for beginners class this winter. I am wondering if anyone who has taught this before would be willing to share their instructional outline/class materials. Hate to reinvent the wheel. 

Thanks!
