Flipboard Officially Arrives for Android, Offers Magazine-Style News Reading to All I absolutely love this app on my Droid Bionic, and with 4G now in my area, navigating articles is fast and smooth. But there's one feature that I REALLY wish they would add: Offline article tagging When I'm flipping through articles, I often find myself tapping the "Read later" menu choice to pipe the article over to "Pocket" for later reading. I'd like to be able to select an article for later offline reading. I've suggested this to the developers, and hopefully something might come of this, but it may take more people contacting them to nudge this forward. What do you think?

Classroom iPod touches & iPads: Dos and Don'ts Do delete content. Since you are mirroring the computer's iTunes Library onto the iPods, deleting items from iTunes will delete them from the iPods. After you no longer have a need for a podcast, video, or audiobook, delete it so it is not taking up room and cluttering up the iPods. Do configure the Music app for easy access to playlists and podcasts.

iPad Tips for Teachers Using iBooks for Education | Jonathan Wylie I’ve been spending a lot of time in iBooks recently, and have showed teachers a whole slew of features that are new, or not as well known, in Apple’s default e-reader. So, without further ado, here are a few of my favorites tips for teachers using iBooks in education. 1. Find Free Books There are probably more free book titles in the iBooks Store than you might think, and they can be a great way to add to your classroom library without taking up any more valuable shelf space! 2. A number of titles in the iBooks Store come with a built-in read aloud feature that will read the text to students, and highlight words as it does so. 3. By now, you might have several shelves full of fine free books, but how do you quickly find the one that you want? 4. This might be a little obscure, but Apple recently teamed up with Flipboard to let you find new titles from the iBooks Store right from inside the Flipboard app. 5. 6. 7. 8. What’s Your Favorite Tip?

For many of us this shows to actually be a way of taking notes that can be more useful than just writing down keywords or sentences like we do on a to-do list.
