Agenda
You would be able to recognize an iPad if you saw one, but
wouldn’t know how to turn it on if you held it
in your hands.
While you might have read about using the iPad, you have not taken the time to
experiment with one.
You have actually experienced using an iPad a few times, but have no idea how to
download apps or easily maneuver
around the interface.
In fact, holding it still makes you feel a little bit uncomfortable.
You feel very comfortable using the iPad because it is part
of your everyday routine.
While you’ve downloaded apps,
watched movies, or played games, you still want to learn
more.
Self-Assess
The objective today is to make everyone feel comfortable using an iPad.
