Mr DK’s Blog

In this short taster session, Stuart mentioned/demonstrated the following cool applications and shared some other ideas:

Keynote-remote – link your touch/iphone to your pc and then control your presentations

halenz – Stuart’s delicious account, lots of useful links, like this one for Ten essential back-to-school iPhone apps 

My favourite is ‘myHomework’

iPod docking station – enables x15 itouches to synch at the same time.

iRead – microphone for itouch ($25), students reading was improved after recording and then listening to themselves on their iTouches.

Access and affordability make itouch appealing.  (Not to forget the cool factor!)

Wordbook – great dictionary and thesaurus.

Pockets of potential – details opportunity in mobile technology to promote children’s learning.

iPod touch research report – good for motivators if you are considering arguing a case

Band – Running records (NZ developed) - Decibal meter – Iblogger (other worthwhile applicatons that were mentioned)

I love my iPhone – I’ll never take a PC to another conference (unless presenting).  I used it for note-taking, internet (Facebook, research, Twitter, Blogging…) and email.  Is there anything this phone cannot do – it even led me to workshop venues.  Sold.
