Naughty Apps

Apple has banned overtly sexual apps from the iPhone, iPod touch, and new iPad.

in fact, the mobile application giant has begun removing questionable or suggestive

apps that are already in circulation. This is good news for teachers who may be

looking for additional support to promote the use of these devices in classroom

situations.

Windows 7 Phone

Microsoft announced and demoed their Windows 7 Phone operating system. it

looks pretty good. In fact, it looks and behaves a little like the iPhone. This is good,

because smart phones that work like computers and have applications that are

meaningful to your class and students are usable. It uses the “hubs” system of

navigation which includes sections like People, Pictures, Games, Music + Video,

Marketplace, and Office. It won’t be out anytime soon unfortunately. Reports say,

the phone will likely not appear until the end of the year for holiday shopping.

Prezi for Educators

If you’re familiar with the groundbreaking presentation tool known as Prezi, then

you’ll love the latest news. Following many of its contemporaries, Prezi has made

the intermediate level of its service available to teachers, get this, for free to educators!

The new level called “Edu Enjoy” is the equivalent of their intermediate level

which normally costs $99 a year. By registering as an educator using your institution

e-mail, teachers and students can create prezis online, present off-line, make content

private, remove the watermark typical of the free service, and enjoy 500 MB of

free storage. If you haven’t looked into the service you should, it’s fantastic.
