  In order for us to get a concrete idea for the short commercial about the need for iPads at Georgetown, it has been proposed that we put together a list of the top ten uses for it in the classroom. Please chime in on here and add your ideas. At the next meeting we can pare down the list if necessary and establish a final order.

  Mobility - the connectedness it grants to the faculty, especially with the new wireless coverage on campus
  
  The ability to easily annotate presentations during class as the need arises to clarify certain points and the ability to save those annotations and provide them to the students using various apps.
  
  Green technology - will allow Georgetown to take a big step toward reducing paper consumption.
  
  Attendance and other book keeping apps of the sort that streamline the administrative end of teaching and allow for better communication with the students.
  
  The iPad can serve as a powerful and lightweight research platform.

  The iPad would be a great tool in the Investment team. Students now use their iphones or their iPads to research stocks as one of the students presents his ideas. This allows for wider coverage of the stock in question.

  Barbara Burch has an app that allows her to easily take attendance in her classroom. The app sends whatever email to the missing student that she wants for the day.

  The Bookshelf app allows me to access the full Chartered Financial Analyst curriculum on my iPad. This allows me to take the six big volumes with me everywhere and study sessions are made so much easier. The info is a tap away.

  I dream of a time when students will have their textbooks on the iPad...think of the cost savings...and there would be no excuse not to bring your book to class.

  There are a number of apps that will aid grading on your iPad. One is iannotate which allows you to mark pdfs on the ipad. Also, a stylus can allow professor to add handwritten notes to their iPad grading.
  
  There is an internet application with has an app called Spring It. You can save websites to different folders. This will allow you to save resources as you construct or add to your courses.
