This @jonbecker tweet just popped up a few minutes ago. It's really great to know that Apple is aware of the great things we have been working to do with the I Education Apps Review community. @smeech, myself and many others have volunteered countless hours in order to try and provide quality insight into how iDevices could and should be used in the classroom. I hope that Apple education reps reach out to those of us at IEAR.org and that we can find a way to work together in the future to do what is in the best interest of our students.

Amazing Medical App - Can we see an amazing App for education now?

Thanks to Check Out the Future by Bob Sprankle ...The IPhone has some amazing medical applications including this new feature described in the following YouTube video: 

Hopefully, these kinds of applications can inspire us to think about the possibilities for educational applications.  We have reviewed some "neat" applications so far, but we have not been wowed like this "Diabetes" application.

I think we haven't been wowed yet because we have not had the linkage of education and educators with the IPhone / ITouch like we have here.  How can we bring together education and application developers better as we see with linking giants like Johnson and Johnson and Apple?  If I have missed it, please let me know.  I want to review it!

I hope to see education application developers join our NING to link up with educators.  Perhaps we can be wowed! Here is a sub-group just for developers.

Do you think the IPhone / ITouch have educational value?

We put up a poll on Twitter to begin our discussion on whether or not the IPhone and/or ITouch have educational value or not.
