During this weeks training, Park Operations took the next step in leveraging the Playground Guardian Software by rolling out training on the iPad to staff. With the efficient use of iPads in the field, staff are un-tethering from the traditional desktop PC and can function live in the field to complete real-time inspections, perform key duties and continue to be a key presence in parks daily. Hear from Park Operations staff: George Smith and Shawn Irish as well as Park Region Manager Patricia Poteat as they discuss the efficiencies the iPad will create for them.
