    Freeform

    The Freeform app was released by Apple about a year ago. It encourages users to lay out their ideas on an ever expanding workspace (whiteboard). You can enter text, photos, draw your own graphics, and more. This space can also be shared live with other Freeform users. Chris Kent has been using this and will share her experiences.

    Backing Up Your iCloud Content

    Apple’s iCloud is a great way to sync data like your Contacts, Calendars, and Photos. Although Apple has not had any high profile disasters, it still is a good idea to make backups of your data to protect yourself from any accidents. Joshin Yamada will cover what you can backup, and what you can’t.

    Final Cut Pro Demo

    Loren Leed will be working on another of his Live Music video projects shot with iPhones, and invites people to “drop in” to watch the editing process. This is not a class to teach you the basics of Final Cut Pro, rather a demo with Q&A.
