"Just Fractions" is a tool for learning about performing simple math (multiplication, division, addition and subtraction) on fractions. This program was the brainchild of my ten year old son. In addition, he wrote most of the code after picking up a book on programming that I purchased for him. The most recent enhancement to "Just Fractions" is a step by step guide on how to perform fraction math. This greatly enhances the educational value of “Just Fractions”. Just Fractions 1.4 will be released soon on the app store.
Math Seeq helps you learn about mathematical sequences in a game format. You are told what kind of sequence you are pursuing, and then you must select the proper number that is next in the sequence from a bunch of numbers that are flying (or wandering) around the screen. For example, for the powers of two level, you must select 2, then 4, 8, 16, 32 etc… There are four levels of play. You play against a timer and can save your high scores if you are adept at the game! The beginner or lowest skill level includes multiples of each integer from 1 to 9, effectively giving an elementary or middle school student a fun way to drill their times tables.

The Bigwords.com app tries to find the cheapest way to buy textbooks. Whether it's one book, or a long reading list, you will save money using this app. You can also make money by using it to sell unwanted books, but being a teacher, I have a problem with that, having never re-sold or thrown away a textbook. Of course,that's just me.
A good way to explain Bigwords is to take you through the process. The Bigwords.com app lets you set a bunch of preferences, each one reducing your options a bit. You can choose books that are new only, new or used, high quality new or used, set shipping preferences, consider eBooks or rentals (along with rental terms) and whether you require a guaranteed buyback from the vendor.

VoiceOver delivers an experience unlike any screen reader you’ve ever used before. Traditional screen readers describe individual elements on the screen, but struggle to communicate where each element is located or provide information about adjoining objects. This contextual information is very important but typically filtered out by other screen readers. For example, “off-screen” models used by traditional screen readers to represent applications and web pages intentionally strip away contextual information and describe web pages as a list or menu of items. But with VoiceOver on iPhone 3GS, you’ll experience something entirely new.
