About Reusing Blog Posts - How to do it properly

Richard Byrne makes some sensible comments on this topic:
"So then if you are trying to collate good information to share with your colleagues what is an appropriate way to do it? One way to do it is to use the title and perhaps a few sentences of the blog post then place a "read more" link to direct readers to the actual source and full content. Another appropriate way to collate and distribute many blog posts is to place an RSS feed widget in the sidebar of your blog."

iPhone and iPad Apps Assist in the Writing Process

 
 Vicki Windman, a special education teacher at Clarkstown High School South, made a list of iPhone and iPad Apps she considers useful in the writing process. According to her "writing is a skill that many students struggle with, from grammar, idiom and spelling to punctuation and footnotes". Build A Word Easy Spelling is one of the apps she mentioned:

Build a Word Easy Spelling $2.99 contains more than 600 words with the option to create one's own list. Includes audio and visual prompts and three levels- short vowels, long vowels, and sight words. Especially good for special-needs students who need a blank background to reduce distraction, large letter cards, and the option not to time or keep score to reduce pressure.

There's an App for Multiplication! Memory Game: Multiplication Better than Flashcards!

PRESS RELEASE (San Diego, September 2011): An educational game for children called Memory Game: Multiplication has been released recently. The app is intended for younger students who have just been introduced to multiplication, but also for those who need to brush up their memory. The application is a great tool for building a good foundation for math that today’s school curriculum requires.  It is considered far better tool than plain flashcards. A student becomes a faster player with every new game. The application also represents a classic matching game traditionally used to build cognitive skills.

Memory Game: Multiplication

In this application a child must use his / her cognitive memory skills to remember where the cards are in order to reveal matching pairs. A significant advantage of this particular memory game is that the child is expected to calculate each mathematical expression to be able to connect it to its result. There are several features of this game.

*great tool for learning multiplication accurately and quickly
*single-player or two-player mode
*three levels (<100)
*choice of number of cards
*timing and scoring displayed
*winner may be rewarded with an extra game of dinosaurs
*child-friendly interface with appealing visual and audio effects

Apart from the application’s significant contribution in helping children multiply numbers accurately and quickly, Memory Game Multiplication is also a great tool for developing cognitive skills such as:
