  • "What's wrong with the good old paper and pencil?" remains a common question in educational circles. My answer to that question is, "Nothing."

    Cool links to programs for QR codes and good use of student owned mobile devices in the classroom.

  • “The 3DS is sufficiently novel and cool to reverse this trend,” he said, predicting that it would sell out through the end of the year. “It will get people excited, and will make kids and parents forget the mobile phone.”
  • The novel touch-screen device does not require users to wear special glasses to see the 3-D images.

  • He couldn't find any software to keep those paper check marks on a smartphone, so he wrote his own app about two years ago, in a two-week burst of coding. He called his task-specific app Attendance and put it on the iTunes store for other professors, charging a couple of bucks (and adding features as colleagues suggested them). So far he has earned about $20,000 from the more than 7,500 people who have virtually shouted "Here."
  • A professor at the University of California at Davis is asking drivers to help him with his research on roadkill by logging any dead squirrel, possum, or other critter they see along the highway. At first he asked people to write down the location and details about the carcass on a scrap of paper and upload the information to a Web site when they got home. Then the research team built an iPhone app to let citizen-scientists participate at the scene. It's more convenient, and it gives the researchers better data, because a phone's GPS feature can send along exact location coordinates

      We could do this with subQuan and having individuals upload where they found situations where subQuanning is better than counting. Uses!
  • That's just one of many research projects adding smartphone interfaces to so-called "crowd science," in which the public is invited to add structured data to an online database. "For crowd science, I think it's definitely the next step

  • Mr. McAllister, the student blogger at Trinity, uses his iPhone's camera as a document scanner, with an app called JotNot Pro. After he takes a picture of a page of text, the app (which costs 99 cents), can turn it into a PDF file for easy review later.
  • A company named Inkling creates textbooks made for iPads, with interactive features and videos—things that paper volumes cannot do.
  • Brainstorming for classroom talks has gone high-tech with "mind mapping" software that encourages arranging thoughts and ideas in nonlinear diagrams. These programs have been available for years on laptops and desktop computers, but some professors say the touch-screen interface of smartphones or tablet computers enhances the process, letting scholars toss around ideas with a flick of the finger. Gerald C. Gannod, director of mobile learning at Miami University, in Ohio, recommends Thinking Space for Android devices, MindBlowing for the iPhone, and Popplet for the iPad. Mr. Delwiche, of Trinity University, likes MindJet.

    Professors write their own apps. Very cool! Couple bucks an app and he's earned $20,000 for a couple weeks of coding. Wow!

  • These are the addition problems and method we all learned in school.
  • This app has you adding from left to right instead of starting in the ones place, which goes against everything I learned.

      "against everything I learne"...that's cuz we teach it wrong!!
  • This one is unusual, dividing up some of the numbers into their parts (whole ones, whole tens, etc.), and subtracting the parts.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • it teaches you to subtract the tens place first, and then subtract the ones place. But in the ones place you end up with a negative number.

      Hmm, subtracting left to right ? Like we read? What a novel idea!!
  • It makes multiplying large numbers easier, and allows you to see it all visually.
