I haven't had a chance to use this yet, but if it lives up to the blurb it should be good. One of the features of mobile learning is the "small chunks" of learning thto users expect, so this could offer a good way to provide that. Delete the scoop?

The recently announced iPad mini, along with similar digital tablets like the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 make for nearly perfect e-reading devices.
Building an e-library is ten times easier than building and maintaining a paper book library.
So after you’ve purchased your iPad, you will want to install at least two e-book reading apps on your device: the iBooks Reader and the Kindle for the iPad. Both are free downloads.
This beginner’s guide recommends apps and features to get you started in building your library. Though the focus on is on the iPad, because it’s the device used for the last two years to build an e-library, the recommendations apply to other devices, including the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Nobel Nook. But the iPad offers some extra features that you will eventually find useful over other devices.

While the iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) excel at ease of use, the maximum protection you’re offered is a passcode lock with an option to erase all personal data upon 10 incorrect attempts. While it may serve enough for lost/stolen cases, what if you want to temporarily hand over your device to someone for use and don’t want prying eyes peering through your personal emails, messages, photos, or launching applications that you want to keep private? For all this, and much more, jailbreakers are in for a treat again. Cydia offers quite a few capable solutions, each with their own distinctive features that can offer much better privacy protection than the native iOS.
In this article, we’ll provide a quick rundown of the three most promising solutions for password protecting your apps: Lockdown Pro, FolderLock andLocktopus. Delete the scoop?

If you’re a special education teacher or are simply looking for an innovative way to reach a student… this is for you. Many apps out there are useful in the classroom but they’re not always easy to find in the clogged-up app store.
Ever tried searching for ‘education’ in the iTunes store? You won’t get a simple list of the top resources. Heck, that’s why places likeClassroomWindow have started up to help teachers sort the great stuff from the garbage.
Regardless, a Scribd document by Eric Sailers details hundreds of helpful apps that are perfect for special education teachers and more. Delete the scoop?

And now we have the tablet. The iPad has begun a new “education revolution” and now the obligatory opposition tech companies have joined the battle. The question has to be asked – are we again starting from the wrong end of the battle lines? Is the iPad (inserted alternative tablet if so desired) the real catalyst or is there so much more to this than money spending school systems can see beyond the new and shiny? It’s why I ask the question: Is it the iPad, the App or the User? Via John Evans, Pam Colburn Harland

It's true much of the true revolution will be realized when the user knows how to wield the tool. I'm also concerned that many teachers feel overwhelmed with testing, deadlines, meetings, etc. and have not made the paradigm shift from teaching is a "would like to do" to a "need to do." It's challenging! It's also my motivation for researching and examining the effectiveness of the tech tools we use in classrooms.

A very interesting article which asks the really tough questions. No, it's not just about the tool, but more about how & why the teacher and/or student use the tool. The comments are worth reading too. Delete the scoop?

Cube Creator is an exciting way to quickly get students to put together elements of a biography, a mystery, a story, or you can choose your own cube. Once students fill out the question forms, they can print out their cube, put it together, decorate, and set it next to their workspace as a reminder of the basic elements of their story. Beneath the creator start button are many lessons of how the cube can be used for grades 3-12. Via Christian A. Rogers Delete the scoop?
