Notes on Presentation at NICE from Beth Burke on IEAR by Scott Meech

Thanks for taking notes.  I will post the presentation shortly....

 

Beth Burke's notes from presentation at NICE about the IEAR movement...

Accessories

  • plug that goes in car lighter to go through radio does not work well
  • Podium - sits up on desktop and holds iPod or iPhone while you work
  • Connectors - displays video from iPod...something coming, can hook up to musical instruments
  • Carts - Bretford cart - espensive, but is it worth it? Less expensive way to sync multiple iPod Touches in a USB hub...takes more time, but much less expensive.  With the Bretford cart, you can just buy the drawer, not the entire cart.
  • QUESTION - is there a way to sync so all apps show up in the same place?
  • iType - Put device right inside and it syncs from there - extends actual device into a full-sized one
  • Mobicip - filter for iPod/iPhone
  • Can set restrictions on device itself (set for NC-17 or lower so can't see the apps in the store at all)
  • iNet SafetyBubble - another Parental Control Internet Filter, but expensive - $19.99 (Syncing to lots of devices?  Only have to purchase it 1 time.  So, pay the $19.99 once and can sync it to hundreds of devices)
  • Bsecure - free internet safety device
