Definately get a separate keyboard

A kindly elf recently left a bluetooth keyboard on my desk to use with the iPad. I will now be joining the technology revolution and taking notes for the Initiative on the iPad! (Yea!) As a person who has tried to use the iPad without the supplemental keyboard, I find it is much easier to use all aspects of the iPad WITH the keyboard. I'm sure all of you discovered this earlier. However, if your students ask, let them know they will find coursework much easier if they get the separate keyboard. They are welcome to come to the ITC and ask me in person!  Wenda
