[elearning] tablets vs ipads

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I met somebody at an ICTEV meeting from a girls school that noted the popularity of the iPad mini amongst the senior kids next year. Most already had a laptop / mobile phone. I am curious how students at Monash Uni connect android devices to the wifi (perhaps it isn't an issue with their setup)?

You don't have to drink, you can stand around eating peanuts and drinking water if you like. Otherwise, join me to raise a toast to the new year and join me for some nosh afterwards. All the badly dressed IS and ITA teachers will be there.
