LectureTools App On The iPad Offers an alternative to clickers

LectureTools' app on the iPad could be transformative in the classroom as well as a flipped classroom tool.

The LectureTools iPad app, created by a University of Michigan startup of the same name, spun out of research by Perry Samson, a professor in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences who has won awards for his teaching practice.

The application offers an alternative to clickers that harnesses the potential of the iPad, turning it into one of the most active in-class learning and communication tools, with cloud based storage. Anything added to the app is instantly available online through students' LectureTools web accounts. This is important in situations where students only have access to iPads in the classroom, but not in the events for homework.

The app was piloted in David Montalvo's classrooms in the Bay Shore School District in New York.

The app comes with all the bells and whistles students are used to seeing in the LectureTools web application. But now, a sleeker design optimized for iPad enables students to use the tool during class and offline for remote studying.

Through LectureTools, instructors can present students with interactive activities, including multiple-choice, free response and image-based questions, and students can respond using their mobile device, now including iPads.

The solution provided by LectureTools enables schools and instructors to engage students in new ways and take full advantage of their iPad initiatives.

The LectureTools iPad app available on: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lecturetools/id521133554?mt=8 .

"Gathering data 'out in the field' away from your office, filling out forms, jotting down notes, drawing diagrams and sketches -- any information traditionally collected using paper and pen can now be easily gathered and transmitted from your mobile device using FormMobi. The money and time saved are obvious, but it's the added security and reduction of mistakes associated with scanning and rekeying data that result in the biggest and most immediate payoff."

FormMobi makes it simple to create and complete electronic forms. The application also offers an impressive array of data-gathering features for users filling out custom or ready-made forms in the field, which go beyond the limitations of traditional data collection. In addition to text input, users can record audio, select data from QuickLists, scan barcodes, make calculations, take photos, get GPS coordinates, collect client signatures, and more.

In contrast with other forms apps currently available, FormMobi users have two sketching options. FormMobi's advanced CAD Sketch allows users to create incredibly precise, graph-paper-style drawings with the swipe of a finger. Areas and angles are calculated automatically and can be adjusted as needed. Symbols and labels are easily added to give sketches a professional, finished appearance. Sketches can be exported to the popular AutoCAD(R) format for easy import into other systems. As an alternative, Freehand Sketch provides a canvas for unconstrained freeform drawings.

FormMobi can operate with or without an active Internet connection. It's perfect for deploying to workforces in remote areas with no mobile service. Once users return to an area with mobile service or Wi-Fi, files are synced back to the cloud where the rich data can be exported in a variety of formats, avoiding the expense and errors caused by retyping or scanning handwritten information. For a custom solution, FormMobi's Enterprise API can be used to build seamless integrations to back-end systems. The robust, easy-to-use app saves employees' time, allows companies to go paperless, and keeps data consistent across teams.

Income Tax App Recommendations For iPad and iPhone

Income tax, routines beginning of each year until the deadline for your income tax filed with the IRS last week.

Income Tax App Recommendations for iPad and iPhone. There are a number of apps that can help you out.

Below are five apps that help you file your income taxes:

H&R Block App. The "H&R Block Mobile" app is mostly a pass-along app that allows you to do some simple things like easily schedule appointments with an H&R Block representative, find a local office, roughly estimate your taxes, create a checklist of things you may need to remember later (and email it to yourself), and it can also give you some basic tax-related answers. Mostly, this is a clever app that gets you in the door so you either see an H&R Block representative in person or purchase full software from the company.

IRS2Go, the app is pretty bare bones and doesn’t allow you to file your taxes on your smartphone, it does let you check the status of your tax refund and get updates from the IRS.

MyTaxRefund App. Enter your information in the form and it will give you a good estimate of what your tax refund might be this year.

Ask a CPA. This free app gives some basic tips about taxes in a number of categories, but it's better if you have a specific question. You can ask any question for free. If all goes well, you'll get an answer. If you want a more reliable (and possibly more detailed) answer, there's another app called My Pocket CPA, which also lets you ask a question, but charges a fee (usually around $10) per answer. We recommend My Pocket CPA if you have a more serious question, as it has a more detailed interface for asking. With Ask a CPA, you're mostly limited to a text box.

TurboTax 2011. Intuit's TurboTax is the most popular tax software around, and for good reason. Like all versions, the iPad TurboTax app is quite user friendly, looks wonderful, and will guide you through the entire process of filing your federal and state returns, step by step. If your taxes are especially simple, there is also an iPhone and Android phone SnapTax app that can scan your W2 and fill most stuff out for you. TurboTax is likely how I'll be filling out my taxes this weekend.

Nine Apps Connect to Friends Nearby

Applications that combine to search friends, and friends of friends, into a single service. Many companies say it is beneficial and that their apps will help people forge new connections and meet someone they perhaps should know. Here below are the new apps connect to friends nearby.

1. Kismet

2. Glancee. Curious to know who is around right now? Open the radar and discover people nearby right now!

3. Highlight. You can see when people are still nearby

4. Ban.jo
Invite your friends when they are near you.

5. Pearescope. Fixed pushed notifications, so you'll always know in realtime when there's an opportunity to connect. Available iPhone, Android and Blackberry.

6. Gauss - The People Magnet. With features Pull to refresh people searches.

7. INTRO - Business Networking. Triggered automatically as you move about the city.

8. Mingle SF. Mingle is updated in realtime, so you'll always have up-to-date information about your city's most popular spots. You can even browse photos and tweets from other people to see what each venue is really like.

9. Sonar. Ability to see Relevant People nearby, through shared friends and interests on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Foursquare.

App stores have been flooded with such tools in recent weeks. Kismet, Glancee, Highlight, Ban.jo, Meeteor, Pearescope, GetGauss, Intro, Qrious, Mingle and Sonar, hope to transform the smartphone into a social dowsing rod that delivers an alert when it detects other people nearby who share interests, friends or career goals.

The apps run quietly in the background of the phone and wait for someone else using the service to wander by. Because the app knows the locations of all its users, the software can notify people who are close by. It then checks for commonalities, like a love of Quentin Tarantino films or hidden social connections, like sharing a group of friends.

Some apps, like Highlight, even allow people to “bookmark” people they enjoyed meeting and will remind them of that interaction the next time they cross paths, even if it is a year later, in a restaurant across the country.

But these services raise the question: do people really want to be stalked or want strangers introducing themselves on the street? The creators of these services say yes, that while the proliferation of the cellphone has made it harder to strike up a conversation with another lonely drinker or solo commuter, the apps may make it easier to talk.


So what your favorite the best app?
