[civsa] IPad Usage at Recruitment Events

[Nicole Graham]

Andrew,

We started using iPads at our visit day check-in as well (June 2013). We
use a google doc spreadsheet and just add the total number of people with
each registered student. Not a high-tech software or anything, but it
worked for us, so weare trying it again for our September visit day.
