DESCRIPTION
Title: iExtension: How Specialists and Agents are Utilizing the iPadAbstract: We rely on technology daily to help us fulfill responsibility and accomplish our professional goals; however, technology is ever changing, always offering new gadgets and gizmos. As part of the land grant mission, Extension has traditionally embraced new advances in agricultural, but is sometimes tentative to try new computer technology in the job place. Apple’s release of the iPad not only combines the newest software application technology, but packages it in a revolutionary touch-based user interface surely to change how we compute. The iPad offers a cost-effective option for staying in-touch and conducting basic tasks, in addition, to providing a stylish new way to expand your use of technology. Join us as we share what the iPad offers and how UT Extension county and state professionals are utilizing this new, emerging technology to benefit us and our programs.Lead Presenter: Emily Tipton, University of Tennessee, Animal ScienceAdditional Presenters: David Yates, UT Extension, University of TennesseeDescriptors: Extension and Outreach, Information Technology - Teaching and Learning, Working Differently, iPadDate: Sunday, June 12Room: Conference B, Camtasia RoomTime: 9:45 amSession Length: 45-minute
