Apps For School
Mashable.com is one of my favourite places for personal learning. I came across this article on the 10 best apps for highschool about a week ago and bookmarked it with a Facebook like . If you own a IOS device it would be a shame not to be taking advantage of it in every way. On a personal note, I love Evernote for taking notes, embedding images and recordings so looking forward to seeing if Evernote Peek lives up to my expectations. The range of suggestions cover apps for: science, maths, language, english and geography students. And if you are having a hard time keeping track of the chaos then the Studious App might be the right tool for you. Signing off to install and play with the Frog Dissection App.

What is a QR code?
Where Does This QR Take You? |
Today anyone can join in to discover the fun uses of QR codes using a mobile device that has a camera and QR Reader App installed. Last year, in America 14 million people were scanning QR codes and the phenomenon is now growing in Hong Kong for personal and commercial purposes.
QR Generator Websites such QR Stuff, Kaywa and SnapVu have made it easy for anyone to create a QR code for a URL, phone number, text , SMS, map location even music. Try using your mobile device to read QR codes around town, with a free QR Reader App such as Scan, QR Reader, I-nigma or Easy QR. You might discover some fun uses for them. I have seen them used at parties for treasure hunts and recently hearing that teachers are using them in classrooms to prompt students to particular websites.
