So you have an iPad, but it just isn’t quite right for your user. The case is too small, the speaker is too quiet, it needs to be mounted, you are afraid of it being dropped, or you just can’t access with a traditional stylus. This training will review current equipment that is available for the iPad, including cases, mounts, styluses, keyquards, blue tooth speakers, scanning hardware and more.
(iPad not required for this class.)
