iPhone App

One of my students has created a Mathtrain app for the iPhone. I hope it really works out. I saw it installed on an iPhone, and it is still being sorted out. But how exciting!

Easily Installed Memory

OK, I know this isn't a big deal. But being a Windows guy and only recently an iMac owner too, I am happy to report I successfully installed an extra gb of RAM all by my lonesome self.

I eventually will order 4 GB from Crucial or someplace cheaper than the ridiculous Apple Store prices. I mean 1GB of RAM is only about $16 on-line and $75 at Apple? Rip-off!

Next, I plan on installing Vista and Parallels onto my iMac. Yikes, now that is the scary segment. Wish me luck.

I Love Australia!

Today, I presented from my classroom in Santa Monica, CA at the MAV Math Conference in Melbourne, Australia. It was 3:45pm my time and 10:45am the next day in Australia.

Student, "Bob", co-presented. It was unique in that we were broadcast via Skype and Adobe ConnectNow. Tomorrow, we get to do it again! Meanwhile, some students were participating and/or watching the presentation in my classroom in front of me. They were impressed that we were talking and viewing live a live feed to Aultralia. Thanks to the wonderful Tony Richards, of itmadesimple and edtechcrew.net for running the show locally in Australia. And thanks to Darren, who hooked us up with his smooth Skype connection!
