nice wiki discussion of iPod Apps that can be used in the classroom with an interesting approach to sharing each app.

One of a growing number of quiz apps that are available. Easy to use, but a litte rudimentary in that it only allows you to take a quiz and does not have a study mode. You can review your results and analyze how you are doing which is very cool. Easy to create new quizzes and share, which is good, and you can add images to your quizzes, which is key.  I still think I prefer gflash+ for it's flexibility in the study mode but it might be a nice combination of apps for some online quizzing using MC questions.

Is fast moving and progresses beyond 0 to 1 to have students estimating values like 0.26 on a number line from 0 to 2.
