It’s been a very busy start to the fall and new academic year. One of the reasons is because the major government higher education institutions were required to implement the use of iPads. This came about at the end of the last academic year, but the fun really began when we came back for this year.
Since work began in early September, I have been deeply involved in faculty training and also attending various functions for the launch of this initiative by the country heads. One of the events even included a sighting of the Prime Minister and Vice-President of the UAE and ruling Sheikh of Dubai. HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
This event included following him around one of the Higher Colleges of Technology campuses and then lunch at the Sheikh’s palace (not Emirates Palace).
All in the name of the iPad! 😀
