iPad Sales History

    12, 2010
     – Around 300,000 iPads being sold on their first day of availability.
•   By May 3, 2010, Apple had sold a million iPads
     – this was in half the time it took Apple to sell the same number of
       original iPhones

                        are needed to see this picture.

iPad “Givens”
•   The iPad and related tablet technologies are hear to stay
•   The laptop is in its final stage of viability
•   Media is now redefined, repackaged and reproduced
•   As a “disruptive innovation”, tablet computers will
    drastically change education over the next 5 years
iPad in the Band Room
• iPad usage in the band room
  – Teaching
    • Presentation technologies
    • Student “consumption” device
       – News
       – Media
    • Student creative tool facilitating/reinforcing
      concepts, knowledge and skills
iPad in the Band Room
• iPad usage in the band room
    – Administrative Tool
    – Conductor’s Assistant
• iPad/Apple TV vs. SmartBoard
NOTE: I highly recommend the Apple TV combined with a TV monitor
  or projector. This, combined with iOS 5 creates ultimate freedom in
  the classroom environment.

                                      •Due to the orthogonal arrangement of pitches on the
                                      Harmonizer, chord progressions all have the same
                                      "shape" regardless of transposition.
