• Apps in Education: I want my students to.....iPad Learning Objectives

  Sometimes we intimidate people because the lists we create are just too big. Sometime bigger is not better. Yesterday I found a perfect example of this. I came across this website on twitter via @meesterkurt. I love the idea of having the apps organised by what you want your students to do. This makes so much sense, even from the student's point of view.

• Charts in Press Releases enable Journalists and Bloggers to tell better stories | iCharts

  When we had the original idea for iCharts sometime ago, one of things that drove us where that most articles online today that report on facts and figures are text based, at most contain tables, hardly ever charts are used. An image says a thousand words, everyone knows that but still, no charts in articles. Contrast that with print publications and you will find charts and visuals virtually in every printed publication that has some facts to report on. We spend a good time trying to understand why this is the case.
