IEAR

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 20:24:51 +0100

The increasing number of learning providers trying to implement the use of mobile devices in their learning environments creates a demand for a website like IEAR.

IEAR's reviews could become a great resource for managers, practitioners and administrators searching for quality applications to use in their learning environments.

IEAR is...

a community powered review of educational applications for mobile devices
primarily focused on...
- iPod,
- iPhone, and
- iPad apps
  ...but there are also some mentions of Android apps.

Contributions from practitioners are welcome through an online submission form. Learners can also make contributions if their practitioners apply for learner app reviewer access.

Visit http://www.iear.org/ to find out more.

I learned about IEAR through an RSS feed from "Free Technology for Teachers" written by Richard Byrne.

If you consider yourself a mobile application lover, chances are you will like Appboy.

Appboy is a place where many people, interested in mobile applications, get together in order to benefit from a social 'environment'. Those who want to raise awareness about any innovative application they are developing are able to do that and get feedback from others in the community.

Appboy provides...

a portal where visitors can...
- view applications
- suggest applications
- submit applications
a site where visitors, can...
- submit ideas
- view ideas
- vote on ideas

I have no doubt that many practitioners, learners etc., have good ideas about something that can be...

useful or
entertaining

...for many people and they are convinced that if they develop it they could make 'money'.

What are they going to do with that idea?

Are they going to stay as ideas, or will they go ahead and do something about it?

Appboy was created to give everyone the chance to promote ideas.
