Posthaven is the creation of Gary Tan from Posterous fame. Blogs can be created from $5 per month. "Garry Tan and Brett Gibson were two of the cofounders of Posterous in 2008. Posterous was acquired by Twitter in 2012, and while we were happy that it was a meaningful acquisition for the team and investors, we were bummed to see something get shuttered that we believed should last forever. We know how to build every aspect of a great site, and we're setting out to do it again." 

Helpful educators on Twitter submitted some of their favorite mobile learning websites, apps, and resources. Tony Vincent put these submissions into the set of posters that were placed around the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown at Mobile Learning Experience 2012. If you weren't at Mobile 2012 or missed some of the posters in person, they are posted here for your learning pleasure.

A great tongue in cheek SAMR poster

After a live photo leak of the Oppo's up and coming R19 a month ago, a supposed poster picture of the telephone has now seemed on the web. The telephone is expected to be discharged in China soon and it is seen to don a bezel-less screen, a dual camera setup, and a gradient board. The Oppo R19 has recently been snapped to don a spring up selfie camera too.

"The handy flowchart will help you decide whether or not you can use a particular image on your website. Assuming that you have identified the original source and that they have given you the necessary permission to use the picture, the poster also suggests ways on how you can properly credit the photographer."

conjunction with Explain Everything, students now have the ability to publish blog posts through their existing Evernote account that can include customized images, graphics or posters. One of my favorite uses for Explain Everything is to create graphics by using the cropping image & text feature. Once the graphic is created, it can either be exported to the camera roll or uploaded directly to Evernote. Once the image is included in the Evernote note that is tagged with "published", the blog post will appear on the Postach.io blog with the custom image. (If publishing directly from Explain Everything to Evernote, remember to go into the note and add the "published" tag word).
