"During the June and July 2012 sessions of the 3 day workshop "iPad Media Camp," I asked participants to post questions they had about our curriculum as well as related topics using a Google form.

This way these videos can be used in class (including upcoming sessions) as well as shared with others who couldn't attend in person. Below you'll find the questions addressed in each screencast video as well as the videos themselves."
