For those of you out there in real-life business-land, I realize that the concept of Spring Break is a little foreign. Here in the hallowed halls of academia it is a welcome sign of relief from the relentless paper chase. After this short pause, it will be an all-out assault for about 2 more months, and then it's over. It's really amazing how quickly 16 weeks can pass.
Lots of good things happening around campus in conjunction with ACU's iPhone initiative. Last week the university hosted a fairly substantial conference to highlight its accomplishments in this arena. ACU continues to get good press and garner lots of accolades for its efforts to incorporate the iPhone into the educational paradigm. AT&T and Apple continue to be willing and appreciative partners in the effort.
For our part the iSchool continues to look for ways to get students directly involved in applications development. We want them to become involved early in their careers, but they often don't have the necessary skills until they have been around for a couple of years, and many of them enjoy playing with the phones more than programming for them. We are open to suggestions about how to crack this nut.
