NICE Members gathered at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL today to explore the use of iPads in education. Special thanks to Jan Stoner and Loyola Academy for hosting today's workshop, and to Gail LeGrand for bringing her delicious home-baked chocolate bundt cake! Congratulations to Michelle Russell, winner of the portable video camera!! (We are raffling off a camera at each of our meetings this year.)
Today's session began with brainstorming to schedule "topics of interest" for 2 breakout sessions (in an "unconference" style), then a "share out" of favorite apps. Several online resources are available with notes and ideas presented today:
A back-channel of links and ideas: http://todaysmeet.com/NICE-ipadsined
A shared Google-doc spreadsheet of notes.
A shared Google-doc ..."What's your 1 thing?" ... please add your ideas and solutions to this!

Be sure to mark your calendars for our NICE Mini-Conference, Sat. Jan 28 at Stevenson High School. Our list of sessions, and online pre-registration will be posted when school resumes after winter break.
Thanks to Tricia Lazarro for compiling a PDF of the Apps shared: http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2011/12/iPad_Smackdown.pdf
