iBooks Make it Happen

From Mounds Park Academy's Andy Charrier, "Mounds Park Academy, located in St. Paul, Minnesota, will be hosting a 2-day conference titled Learning With Laptops: Make It Happen. Events dates are Thursday, April 5 and Friday April 6.

"The sole focus of this event is on wireless laptop computing, featuring Apple iBooks. MPA has created a campus-wide wireless environment and has issued laptop computers to 50 staff members and 240 students, making it the first school in Minnesota with a 9-12 wireless laptop program. Attendees will be issued iBooks to use during the conference so that they can experience first-hand the "look and feel" of this program. (If you have a wireless laptop, you are welcome to bring it along too.) We have prepared 2 tracks of study for the conference, one for teachers, technology coordinators, and administrators; the second track is designed for technology support staff.
