Students in our MFA residency at #SetonHill U. – First group to receive the iPad2 #SHUWPF
The entering class of the MFA in Writing Popular Fiction received a free iPad2 from Seton Hill University as part of our campus' "Griffin Technology Advantage" program. I believe they are the first group to get these devices (last year everyone on campus received a free first-generation ipad). I taught a class in "Critiquing and Clarity" right after they got the devices, and when I asked them to pose for a photo they all immediately took pictures of their faces with the iPad cameras and posed in these clever ways. A fun group of creative folks!
