iPad Event Registration

Getting teens hyped about going on an event? Easy.  Getting them to sign up and pay is like trying to get cats to form a 5 person pyramid.  So here's a little tip on easy event registration.  If you use online forms to get students to sign up for events, navigate to the form in Safari on your iPad.  Then bookmark the site straight to your home screen.  Add all your event forms to your home screen and reogranize your apps so your event icons are all together.  The next time a teen says they want to go on an event, BAM, let them fill out their form right on the spot.

Need help making online forms?  I'll blog on that later, but for now try Google Docs!

App Review: Olive Tree BibleReader

I admit it...I've taken the plunge, and so far it's been pretty seamless.  I've converted to using my iPad and iPhone as my primary form of reading Scripture.  I've used the Kindle, and have the Bible within my Kindle App, but although great for straight reading, it is hard to move between passages on the fly.

I know that there are many Bible apps out there, but I've found Olive Tree's BibleReader to be an excellent choice.  Olive Tree's BibleReader is available for Windows Mobile, Palm, Blackberry, iOS, and Android.  Here is a comparison chart for the features built in within their BibleReader software by platform.

App Review: Evernote
