 what is the definition of keywords:
words that explain what can range anywhere from the most simplistic explanation of what content is included in the image to the most conceptual.
alt tags, title tags, captions all help searchability.

how to fund this
got the best unit available, case, apps and files.

full 6 hr training required to get the ipad

went thru each preinstalled apps. paper had tips on default apps.

tech support team is a priority
3 types of users
its a fun toy
it supplements work
it is the NEW computer

apps that are used most
email
calendar
web surf / research
video/pictures

remote access to desktop is popular
classroom packs of 10 that can be loaned to offices

what did not work:
not as much sharing about things they like or don't
hoped for more video/photography
hoped for more use with clientele
they want to be spoon fed
they don't explore what is available before theyask for a new app

support never ends
