iPad/iPodTouch User Group Sure there's an app for everything but which app is best for your task? Join us in room 228 every Wednesday between 3pm and 4pm to see what users recommend. If you know someone who may be interested please invite them to join in. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you own a device or just have questions about apps, work flow and processes. All you need to bring is a willingness to listen, learn, share your ipad/itouch experience with others…and have fun! Participants will demonstrate apps and workflows, share ideas, tips, and solutions based on iPad/iPodTouch. Through sharing we will discover apps and tips that will enable us to use our devices expertly! PLEASE NOTE: A user group is NOT a workshop where TLTC demonstrates how to configure your device, iTunes settings and download/synch apps. We will be offering workshops and individual consultation throughout the year to help you with set up.
