VGA is going to be the most reliable option – not all DePaul classrooms have a HDMI, but HDM carries sound as well. I take both with me to the classroom.
Apple has just published three webcasts (Getting to Know iTunes U, Creating Courses with iTunes U Course Manager and Creating Learning Materials for Your Course) that demonstrate how to use iTunes U more effectively.
Watch the videos on-demand here.
There have been two Technology Tuesdays presentations on the iPad in the classroom: One given by me on the 31st August, 2010, and then a guest presentation given by Keith Mountin and Jack McLaughlin earlier today (6th October, 2011). I have combined resources from both presentations on here.
Keith provides some very useful teaching resources on his website, that I think will be of use to DePaul faculty and staff.
See how the iPad is making learning more engaging and accessible than ever. Please join us for ‘Learning with the iPad’, a session to discuss Apple's mobile strategy with the iPad and how it is beginning to change education. With numerous education applications, as well as strategies for textbooks, research and integration, the iPad is becoming a tremendous tool for 21st Century Learning.
• Video Mirroring with the iPad2.
For more information, and to RSVP, please visit the Technology Tuesday page.

This application (developed by DePaul University) allows you to register for events at DePaul University sponsored by Student Life.
This application (developed By DePaul University CDM) is specifically designed for the Apple iPad and iPad 2. The application allows CDM students to download and view their COL lectures on their iPad. It can display all the same screens as the desktop players, such as the video from the lecture, the whiteboards, and the lecturer’s computer screen.
Jack McLaughlin at Apple shared this resource with me: Apple in Education.
The site has a wealth of videos and tutorials that are of use to Apple users here at DePaul.
