Abstract
A small internal grant allowed the purchase and loan of four iPads for student use in a cognitive science honors contract course for the semester. Students mapped the campus’ wireless network’s strength, evaluated and recommended apps, surveyed previous seminar students, and began to create a student survival guide. The panelists will discuss: learning frog calls, running meetings, social networking, campus mapping, the pros and cons of using iPads as an instructional device, and reflections from a new user.
