You won't be able to get this coloring book-like app out of the hands of your kids, who may plead, "Can I color just one more picture, please?" The drawings have thick outlines so it's impossible to color outside the lines. You pick colors with your fingers and select parts of the picture to paint. Pictures range from hot-air balloons to Earth.

"The question is, will Apple do with the iPhone what it did with the Mac? Will it leap out to a technological lead and then find a way to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory? Or has Apple learned from its previous experience and figured out a way to turn its superior design and wonderful technology into market domination?"

Webconfessionals probably don't have the same cleansing powers as the standard booths, but if you are in a pinch... But how is this different than the 700 Club

Not education technology per se, but a reminder that trends do not always go towards better products. You can type 30% faster with Dvorak keyboards, but the vast majority still stick with the Qwerty layout.

"We can do to schools what PayPal did to banks and do to college networks what Facebook did to friendships. We can now make education affordable and pervasive. All this requires is investment in the right technologies and the type of mentoring and support being provided to students, such as the Thiel fellows. You could impact the lives of billions" - Vivek Wadhwa, Senior Research Associate at Harvard Law School and Director of Research at Duke University's Center for Entrepreneurship.

Piggybacking on Diego's post... Apple's [AAPL] plan to bring better educational tools to children worldwide could include a solar-powered iPad rig equipped with pico projectors and more, except the solution doesn't come from Apple -- but does use iPads. **UPDATE: Apple PR have informed me that "School Box aka School in a Box isn't Apple's".
