Course-specific Technical Requirements
Hardware 
The instructor and students will each need their own iPad 2 (or later). 
•	Any of the available iPad models are acceptable (that is, iPad 2, iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad mini with Retina display). Keep in mind that features can be slightly different between models, and iOS® incremental updates might cause slight differences in performance as well. 
•	Each iPad will need Internet access through a wireless network that is not password protected. Providing a password-protected network is optional. 
•	Each iPad will need access to the App StoreSM to download free apps (that is, Find My iPhone) during class.

•	Instructor only: You will need access to a desktop or laptop computer with Internet access and a web browser installed to download and distribute the data files. 
Instructor iPad Only 
•	The instructor should have the appropriate Apple adapters to connect the instructor iPad to a projection system to display the screen.
