The 21st Century Principal: 4 Benefits of iPad Use for Administrators and Educators - 3 views

    Influence them from top down and bottom up. Our stakeholders like ACIS, Programme Offices and AG supports may be our initial targets. Hopefully with a bigger support group, we will be able to induce the others to come on board. I am trying to influence my bus buddies in a small way too :)

    Browse apps that work with dropbox. Since some of them uses dropbox, perhaps you might want to find out more of which apps integrate with dropbox too.

Thoughts on Flash - 1 views

  • Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true.
  • The difference is striking: on an iPhone, for example, H.264 videos play for up to 10 hours, while videos decoded in software play for less than 5 hours before the battery is fully drained.
  • Symantec recently highlighted Flash for having one of the worst security records in 2009
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Flash has not performed well on mobile devices
  • To achieve long battery life when playing video, mobile devices must decode the video in hardware; decoding it in software uses too much power.
  • Flash is a closed system.
  • Flash was designed for PCs using mice, not for touch screens using fingers. For example, many Flash websites rely on “rollovers”, which pop up menus or other elements when the mouse arrow hovers over a specific spot. Apple’s revolutionary multi-touch interface doesn’t use a mouse, and there is no concept of a rollover.
  • letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform.
  • Our motivation is simple – we want to provide the most advanced and innovative platform to our developers, and we want them to stand directly on the shoulders of this platform and create the best apps the world has ever seen. We want to continually enhance the platform so developers can create even more amazing, powerful, fun and useful applications.
  • But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.
