It IS possible to click the PDF link shown above on an iPad and view the PDF document in the Safari web browser, but it is NOT possible to “save it” to the iPad’s flash memory directly from Safari. One example of these limitations is revealed in purchasing a PDF eBook from Lulu like David’s latest work. The iPad in its current iteration is limited in several ways and cannot fully function as a standalone computing device. In this post, I’ll share the options I explored and the the solution I found (the Goodreader app for iPad) to start reading this PDF eBook on my tablet.
Since I have an iPad, however, it seemed logical to purchase the $5 PDF eBook version from Lulu instead of the $20 print version which would have to ship to my house. I’m sure this new book by David is one I want to read, reflect on, and share. I used these books in the first college classes I taught about educational technology. David Warlick, an educator and thinker who has been one of my personal “yodas” for many years, has published a new book on Lulu titled, “ A Gardener’s Approach To Learning: Cultivating your Personal Learning Network.” I learned about this book recently after our convener team announced the theme for the 2010 K-12 Online Conference, “Cultivating the Future.” I’m not sure who, but someone commented to the effect, “Isn’t David Warlick’s new book about cultivating learning connections?” Indeed it is! David’s 2005 book “ Raw Materials for the Mind” (4th edition) and “ Redefining Literacy” (I have version 1.0) were pivotal books I read in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
