Day 2 of using my iPad as primary device:
I could have run my Prezi to run on the iPad, but I ran it on the netbook because I wanted to use the clicker. I suspect that something like this will be available in the future. I did think that it would be nice to have my notes on the iPad screen, so I’ll try that for my next talk.
Though I like the keyboard, I find navigating within the document a bit cumbersome. It’s hard to get the insertion point in the middle of the word, particularly when working with small text. I wish there were keyboard shortcuts to move around the page.
I used the machine very intensely all day yesterday and I still had a 28% charge, so it seems that a daily charge will work fine for classroom use.
It is much more comfortable to carry around the iPad in its case than to carry a netbook or laptop. I think I said this yesterday, but I specifically thought this several times today.
