I will be presenting the iPadJournos project at the Teach-A-Thon session of the Journalism Interactive Conference at the University of Maryland this Friday (April 4). The presentation will focus on how mobile journalism has become a permanent part of the curriculum at VCU. The following are resources about and from the iPadJournos project that give an in-depth look at how the project works and which technology is used for the mobile reporting for our media partner WTVR-CBS 6.
