The deluge of apps for the iPad has begun, and among the number that will be appearing in the App Store on day one is Memeo Connect Reader, a program that lets you access your Google Docs account and view the files you’ve stored there. The Memeo team gave Macworld a sneak peek at the application.

From Chalk To Bytes: The Digital Classroom : NPR

30 March 2010

The entire story is very relevant to our group, but I found this section about the possibility of Google becoming a player in the LMS market especially interesting.

Even though Blackboard continues to grow through acquisitions, Klopfer says the company could face competition from Google in the collegiate market. That’s if the focus of learning management systems shifts because of demand for more online collaboration.

“If that transition happens, a company like Google stands to gain from that because they have a lot of those collaborative tools,” he says.

Many college students already use Google’s suite of applications, including Gmail, Google Docs, Notebook and Book Search. Google has also set up a Web site for educators complete with apps for the classroom.

By RIK FAIRLIE

A couple of weeks ago I hauled a carload of old tech products to an electronics recycling event. I paid $10 to get rid of two old desktop computers, a non-working Apple TV, a couple of cell phones, a network-attached storage NAS drive, two ancient iPods, and a photo printer. At the time, I considered the money well-spent, since I created fresh space in closets and muted my partner’s complaints about the mountain of gadgets I have amassed.

Now I’m not so sure. That’s because I just learned about Gazelle, a site that will pay you to recycle your old products. The company buys a range of items that includes computers, cell phones, MP3 players, LCD monitors, external hard drives, digital cameras, camcorders, and more.

29 March 2010

If every episode of every television show deserves to be on Wikipedia, so does every piece of public art. Or at least a professor in Indiana thinks so.
