June 3rd PD

Great first day of PD for this facilitator and I hope the participants think so as well.  One app I forgot to cover was Apps Gone Free.  This is a great free app that gives you seven or eight apps each day that usually charge a fee, but are free for the day or a short period of time.  Worth a look each day to get great paid apps for free.

Listed below are some great comments from participants on the apps we covered today in iPad boot camp:

• Uses for Videolicious
• Library oritentation-Mrs. Toney
