You'll find the "fantastic" take-away message from this here, and the presentation Prezi. Audio too?
Friday, February 19, 2010 at 11:30AM 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.
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.
