iPad App V3.0! Fitter, Faster, More Productive | Educational iPad User Group | Scoop.it

Like everyone else, we were totally geeked up to get our hands on the new iPad on launch day. We’re huge iPad fans here at SugarSync. We’ve always had a highly rated iPhone app that works great on an iPad. We could have rested on our laurels, but taking the easy road is not our thing. That’s why today we’re stoked to introduce our new iPad app: Version 3.0! Trust us, this is not your everyday app update. We lovingly re-wrote it from scratch to have all the features you know and love, but with an interface that’s truly iPad-optimized. Glorious details + eye candy below!

We have been anticipating it for months. Rumors have been circulating throughout the entire first half of 2012. First, we learned that Microsoft had submitted a series of apps to the App Store for approval. Then, we thought we’d see an official launch alongside the new iPad. Even as recent as a week ago, we discovered that the company will be ready this Fall. Today, The Daily is reporting that Microsoft’s ultimate business package for iOS, Office Mobile, will launch on November 10.

App Synergy: How To Synergize Your Evernote Use -- AppAdvice | Educational iPad User Group | Scoop.it
This weeks App Synergy shines the spotlight on Evernote.

 

To date, this column has explored many different app synergy uses, each comprising a multitude of apps and steps. This week, we’re doing something a little different. Rather than explore one use composed of many apps, we’re going to look at many uses, which only require two apps each. The common link for each use will be Evernote, a well-regarded app that many people use, but few seem to use to its fullest potential.

labs - Data Locker - AppSense | Educational iPad User Group | Scoop.it

The explosive growth of personal cloud services like Dropbox sends a clear message that computer, tablet, and smartphone users greatly value synchronized data access across all of their devices. But many users struggle with the trade-offs between convenience and concern over the security of personal data stored in the cloud. DataLocker eliminates this concern by enabling users to easily encrypt sensitive information in their Dropbox account without sacrificing the convenience of anywhere access.

The DataLocker suite, offered for free by AppSense Labs, includes native clients for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The Windows and Mac clients are capable of encrypting and storing secure files in any local file system or cloud storage location, including Dropbox. The DataLocker iOS application stores files in Dropbox. (Additional storage options are planned in future versions of the iOS application.)

No matter which of your devices you are using, with DataLocker your personal information will be both secure and easily accessible when you need it.

DataLocker is useful, gorgeous, and completely free (with no ads), so why not give it a try ?

Eliminating the App Gap: Marc Prensky (PDF)

Should we be concerned about the fact that today there are a great many students who already have phones, or iTouches or iPads with the ability to download whatever apps they need or want (and the accounts and means to do so), and, of course, many more that do not? I think we should absolutely be concerned, because apps include some of the most useful learning tools that have ever been available.

Cargo-Bot, An Addictive iPad Game That Teaches Programming Concepts

Cargo-Bot, An Addictive iPad Game That Teaches Programming Concepts | Educational iPad User Group | Scoop.it
The key to learning to code is learning to think like a computer--which is a hard thing to do.

 

The key to learning to code is learning to think like a computer--which is a hard thing to do. "It requires structured thinking, ability to abstract details away, and there’s little margin for error--one little typo and your program might do something entirely different from what you wanted," says game developer Rui Viana. "The real world just doesn’t work like that, so it’s hard to get your head around it." Which is precisely why Viana created Cargo-Bot, a simple iPad app that turns "thinking like a computer" into a genuinely addictive puzzle game. It’s like Angry Birds crossed with Codecademy, and it’s total genius.
