Education apps for smart phones - recommended by James M-D. Flashcards for AP exams, MCAT and reference tools

The websites listed here cover a wide range of informational and educational topics and include general reference resources, how-to guides, wikis, how-to videos, podcasts, courses, lessons, tutorials (including open courseware), e-books as well as other reference resources and places to ask questions both online and on your mobile.

Use with smartphone or any connected device - free. Supports many quiz types and polls. Has anyone used it? How does it compare to Poll Anywhere? Can email responses to excel.

I have the teacher app and the student app on my devices but I have not yet tried it out. Maybe for a Let's Talk meeting. It would be interesting to see if different types of devices can all connect to the teacher's device or if they all have to be the same brand.

Story from PRI's "The World" radio program

I actually have a contact through my grad program with a gentlemen who works expressly with schools in South Africa that use mobile phones for education. He has been spear-heading a program through Sprint, where they get old refurbished phones for use in South African schools. I guess what I'm saying is, if anyone wants to connect with him or schools down there, let me know, and I'll hook you up :)
