Ipad Apps




BMC IPAD RESOURCE PAGE


Dear Instructors: here is a list of resources and suggested apps for download. One good thing about the Ipad is that there is an abundance of apps available and all you have to do is perform an internet search for education apps and you'll find more than you need. I've put together some helpful resources and a list of suggested apps. These will also be the apps used during our training sessions.

Please watch these short videos to complete the set-up of your ipad. Please do not skip around. Watch them in order. The ipad must be completely set-up and apps downloaded before your first training.
