$5 a month gets you Windows 7 from your iPad!? I wonder if Microsoft has actually signed off on this very interesting service.

Various science videos, animations ect. Seems like ti is mostly life science but there are some other things. Beware of some evolutionistic talk.

Wow. Also check out the comments. I plan to use this in class to show the students that there is still persecution of Christians when they try to proclaim "The foolishness of God."

Phraseology (iPad only) and Terminology (iPhone, iPad) are two low cost, high quality integrated writing tools useful for any writing task on the go from tweets to instructions, multipage reports, sermons, etc. Terminology (iPhone & iPad), in addition to its built in dictionary and thesaurus, allows you to chose which online word tools to check and integrate into your lookups/research. Phraseology (iPad only) is a friendly editing environment which is especially useful breaking down your word/phrase usage and frequency. Pay attention to the Flesch Kincaid Reading and Grade level scores along with other readability statistics, including root word frequency, and you can improve the comprehension of your written or oral presentation. Most pastors and teachers who either compose or copy-paste-revise content taking into account Phraseology's feedback should be able to greatly improve their audience's comprehension. Interested in tired old phrase remediation or reductions in redundancies and passive platitudes? Anyone?

Note that the article is a plug for the author's full length treatment of "habits".

Thanks Ryan Rosenthal for sharing this article - Ryan says ... Interesting article talking about a small study that was done in Canada. I liked how they said that most tech instruction in the schools they looked at was focused on how to use the tech not on higher order thinking. It also mentions that the teachers on the forefront of tech teaching are not the new teachers but the ones with experience under their belt. Those teachers know how to handle the classroom and are therefore more comfortable taking the challenge of managing the students as they use tech. 

Simple clear presentation of why businesses (and churches, schools) should care about promoting and monitoring their reputation (i.e. "brand") in social media. What was it they say about "word of mouth" . . Social Media is today's high tech "word of mouth" at warp speed.
