OK, I'm going to try again. Hopefully I will keep the blog a bit more up to date this academic year!

During the summer I had several developments of significance. The first is that I have just completed the transition to all Apple computing products. As I write (on a new iMac) my windows PC is having the hard drive scrubbed and it will be recycled for a postgrad student. The second is that we are buying another 20 or so iPads to add to the ones I already have. This will primarily (but not exclusively) be used in the dissection room. I am presently finalizing the apps we will load on these and thinking through how best we might use them in a meaningful and engaging way.

I am dreading the management issues. Because Apple has chosen not to operate a volume licensing programme in Ireland, I can't use Apple Configurator so each iPad will have to be manually managed. If anyone out there knows of a better way than individual device management please let me know.
