That is an excellent question! I will have to look around and see what I can find.

edu.Mac.nation : [App Update] Quickoffice adds Google Docs, Dropbox, and Box.net Support for iPhone/iPod Touch

Sure. First I clicked \"edit\" for adding a new account. After that I selected \"Add Account\", then \"Google Docs\". For the username you will need to use your full Google Apps login. For example.... if it is jsmith@mywebsite.com you will need to use that as your username. Then put in your password and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.

The Loop : iPod touch vs. Nintendo DS: The parent's perspective

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 04:00:06 +0000

As a father or a 3 year old and a 6 month old I do not see myself ever needing to purchase a D.S. There is a ridiculous number of high quality educational and entertainment based games for children of all ages on the iPhone and the pace at which they are coming out is staggering. As a classroom teacher in an elementary school I often hear students talk about their D.S. but often they brag to eachother over who got to use their older brother/sister's iPod Touch. When I upgraded to the 3GS I deactivated my old gen. 1 iPhone, popped out the SIM, put it into airplane mode, and loaded all the kids games right to front screen. Now my older son has an "iPhone" but really I am thinking in a few years he will scoff at the D.S.... The only thing I could think of that would make him want the D.S. would be specific games that his friends play. I do however understand @Sherbert's comment above regarding initial cost. For our family we don't see the cost... at least directly. Our son has a "hand-me-down". Eventually when the crawling bugger gets older he will get my wife's 3G. In both situations though my boys will have "Touch" devices, even if they are phones.

Do you think the @Home questions are too narrow... or do you think I left them open enough for educators from various backgrounds?

I am not sure if I should add more to the @Home section. What do you think?

I have tried a few of the other screenshot applications but I always come back to the "free" one. I wonder if they will ever charge for it? I would definitely pay!

The whole "monitoring" students reminds me of this video from Frontline... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalna... I think it is later on in the clip when on administrator demonstrates how he can monitor students checking themselves out in Photo Booth.

edu.Mac.nation : iTunes App Store Essentials: "Apps 4 Toddlers"

Usually the "essentials" lists are toward the top in the App Store on the iPhone. In iTunes the suggested lists are typically buttons on the main App Store page. It seems each week the layout changes. I don't blame your frustration!
