EdTech Review #60: War Pigs

EdTech Review #60: War Pigs 

This cast begins with an upsetting announcement. Regular episodes will not be happening, but they expect to increase quality. This sounds like the equivalent of a restaurant trying to cut its losses by staying closed on Saturday. They tell of Tech crunch publishing an article showing an iPad with a Nexus background. They swerve headlong into iTunes accounts and examine the new Galaxy X5 bandaid. The big finish is with filters including Snapseed and Gridditor. 

 

Yeah, a big quality bump.

Episode #59: Back Inside the Box

It's good to have a consistent theme that has to do with education. Let's revel in it.  This week's episode is about classroom presentation devices.  The gents try to get televisions back in the classroom, and offer up some compelling arguments.  Along the way they present a brief history of projectors and TVs and look at a 4k future.  Along the way, the bulb-less Casio is thrown in the mix.  Trust me it's more fun to listen to than to read about.

The EdTech Review #58: Mid-range Racket

Episode #58: Mid-range Racket

In this show ripped from today's headlines, crumpled into a ball, and tossed at your kid so that she'll stop reading and go get you the remote, the guys from the High Desert welcome in February with talk of phones, when grime become patina, and dogs on couches. School tech purchasing is taken to task for spending too much on chrome books, and Lenovo is properly chastised for that little red rubber mouse thing in their keyboard. 

Think of them not as two blowhards, but as a wise old aunt who isn't afraid to tell you when you're screwing up. You listen because you know she loves you and besides, maybe later she'll bring out that lemon cake she's got chilling in the icebox.

Episode #57: Full Palm Rejection

Episode #57: Full Palm Rejection

Finally the gents tackle the controversial topic of note taking apps.  This knock-down, drag-out cast tells of the benefits of Notability and it's classier cousin on the Android system.  On the way, they talk of iPad sleeves, iPad stands, Paper53, Procreate, Wacom tablets, and a freaky Adonit stylus.  If you read this tag before the podcast, join in the fun by printing it out and drawing a line as each topic is discussed.  If you do it correctly, you should see a surprise picture of a very grumpy koala bear.  They are soooooo cuuuuute.

The EdTech Review #56: You Gotta Frame That

Show #56: You Gotta Frame That

On this Friday which they proclaim a rededication to podcast sound quality, the gentlemen go back to the ever deep topic of phone battery issues.  Ty is hopeful that Apple is on-the-case, while Jeff waits around the corner with a big old bucket of cold water to dash his dreams.  After Random Restarts, they shift to the benefits of a sleeve case and the possible implementation of LCD televisions as projector replacements in the classroom.

The EdTech Review #54

Show #54 To Cramped to iPhoto

In the post-Christmas stupor return two giants of the podlands.  Mr. Hayes fresh from his required R&R launches into a discussion on the new Mophie Case and how the paradigm for phone hardware has once again shifted for the better.  Mr. Phillips back to his old self tells of phone capacities and how a little is just not enough for today's talker.  They then ease into talk over hard drives and the never ending issue of space.
