I came across the app Painting With Time and Painting with Time: Climate Change a few months ago and was absolutely blown away! As Earth Day is on the horizon (Sunday, April 22nd 2012), I thought it might be app-ropro to provide a handful of suggestions to teach climate change and support being green using the iPad. (The climate change app is currently paid for Earth Day. The app developer will be donating half of the net proceeds to the Union of Concerned Scientists to aid their research on the effects of climate change on our planet.)

The connection between mathematics and art goes back thousands of years. Mathematics has been used in the design of Gothic cathedrals, Rose windows, oriental rugs, mosaics and tilings. Geometric forms were fundamental to the cubists and many abstract expressionists, and award-winning sculptors have used topology as the basis for their pieces. Dutch artist M.C. Escher represented infinity, Möbius bands, tessellations, deformations, reflections, Platonic solids, spirals, symmetry, and the hyperbolic plane in his works. Mathematicians and artists continue to create stunning works in all media and to explore the visualization of mathematics--origami, computer-generated landscapes, tesselations, fractals, anamorphic art, and more.

"t is totally differnt from YouTube. The homepage is pretty simple and it has nothing but a search box where you can type your query.. When you type in a search term , YouTube Instant pulls in the most popular YouTube video for that word and starts playing it immediately. It also shows the next 5 videos just below the one which is playing. Head over to YouTube Instant and give it a shot."

The app has an innovative and attractive UI which, as the app's name might suggest, is based around circles. You spin your way through circles called collection wheeels that are centered around individual curators, colors, or words - and then dive into the collections that strike your fancy.
