This article examines a more basic use for Extension educators, which is as a presentation device to replace or be used in conjunction with a laptop. There are numerous possible uses in Extension, including the development of mobile applications (apps) for clientele to receive information, the use of digital whiteboards in the classroom, and data collection (Drill 2012a, 2012b LaBelle 2011 Rowntree, Wittman, Lindquist, & Raven 2013 Schuster 2012).
