Disclaimer:  I Education Apps Review's goal and or focus is to take a look at practical, useful, and educationally sound ways to use the IPhone or ITouch in the classroom. The IPhone, ITouch and other similar devices are amazing pieces of technology. We believe that these devices have a place in today's classroom as long as they are utilized properly.

We do not intend to bash application developers or their applications with our reviews. We intend to take a closer look at these educationally marketed applications in the education category or the educational / game category in the iTunes Store to make a determination as to the value of their impact in education. We would also like to expand a little beyond this category and talk about applications not marketed as educational to see if they can make an impact in the classroom.

Readers and viewers are reminded that the opinions expressed by us at I Education Apps Review or IEAR.org, and the results published in connection with reviews carried out on these educational apps are confined to, and representative of, our opinions solely. We fully accept that others may completely disagree with our recommendations and grades. As always, more than one opinion is important.

Furthermore, our opinions at IEAR.org are ours alone and they do not represent our employers in any fashion. However, no warranty is made as to disclaimer the accuracy or completeness of any information on this site IEAR.org accepts no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy or errors and omissions, or for any damage or injury to persons or property arising out of the accessing or use of any information posted on our website.

If we make a mistake or have any inaccuracies, we promise to diligently fix them, but please note that we have only positive intentions with our reviews!

Volunteers - Anyone? Just one review a week could help make a huge difference!

Volunteers Anyone?

Just one review a week could help make a huge difference... Additionally, you don't have to have a video review as we would love to take written entries as well...

I Education Apps Review is very interested in finding volunteers to help review the numerous categorized education apps and educational games apps. App developers are sending us redeem codes pretty frequently now so we can really start to produce a nice library of reviews. It would be nice to see educators who are using these apps in classrooms as reviewers to give credible reviews.

Volunteer Requirements to do IEAR reviews:

1. You must be a licensed and certified teacher.
2. You will keep a similar format to the current IEAR.org review format.
3. You will use IEAR images as part of the reviewing proces (feel free to include images related to your site as well).
4. You can cross-post any of your reviews but you will link to IEAR with your cross-posts.
5. You will examine the application individually but also with a student (not necessarily in a formal class setting).

Additionally, we would be very happy to have you cross-post or guest blog entries that focus on the educational value and use of these types of devices and applications. If you are interested in reviewing apps, getting the "free" redeem codes, and or cross "guest" blog posting, please email scott@iear.org or contact Scott Meech via Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/iear.

Additionally, here is another left over egg from the past holiday... First come first serve!
