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.

From textbook publishers, to education software companies, everyone is taking notice of this benchmark in education technology. As an educator, I've seen this shift first hand as I visit classroom, and as I track the adoption of the mobile technology in education.
Great new number sense math app. Cost $0.99 at this time but uses: the capabilities of the iPhone well (motion, graphics), multiple representations including linear and circle models, decimals, fractions, percents. 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.

An on-going discussion of implementing an iPod Touch program at Culbreth Middle in Chapel Hill, NC. The discussion addresses a variety of on-going issues and topics from AUP, to charging, to best apps, to instructional routines. Worth mining for data.
