I have been using an Android phone for about six months now. The Android Apps Market is maturing and I love the fact that it is now web based. You can now install any app directly onto your phone from the Android Market webpage. I sometimes refer to AppBrain which is an Android App curation site, for recommendations. I have just work out that they have a social function that allows me to share what apps I have on my device. Check out the funky widget! Scroll and click on App icons for reviews. What do you recommend?

Google Teacher Academy Video

Having used and blogged about using Google tools in the classroom, I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to attend the Google Teachers Academy (GTA) in Sydney. It’s the first time that it is being held outside the US and only 50 places are available Australia/NZ and Asia wide. So its going to be tough. One of the application requirements is to compose a 1 minute video about motivation and learning. Having just invested in a Android Phone I thought it would be a good idea to record all audio and video on it. The students were all actually using the tools that they mention. It was the last week of school and I had given them some free time to use a creative tool of their choice.

Here it is.
