This tablet user's group was a planning session for Fall 2013. The tablet user's group will take a break over the summer, however, we will be highlighting apps and tablet tips in the TLC email news and here on the blog.
If you have suggestions of times that would work best for you to participate in the tablet user's group in the fall, please comment below.

For the fall we are considering having app themes for each of the tablet user's groups, some of the themes might be: productivity, health/medical; science/math, note-taking/word processing, arts, English/language/literature, whiteboard/recording, audio/video, ereaders/news... what do you think? What themes would you like to see?
