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.
