Teaching with the iPad: Cloud Computing for Synchronization and Collaboration

This workshop gives teachers a viable starting place in using the iPad as an educational tool by discussing effective cloud computing techniques. The focus is primarily on collaborative and organizational apps that let you seamlessly sync your iPad with your central creation and storage hub (your computer). By focusing on this workflow—organizing educational materials on the computer, and accessing, editing and sharing them on the iPad—we hope to give a concrete structure to the sometimes amorphous process of educational cloud computing. This seamless synchronization negates redundancy and increases efficiency in the consumption, storage, and sharing of text and media.
