While looking at the video for Sonos Controller for the iPad, I wondered…what if we could replace the selection below — i.e. the word music with the words “educational providers” — and then control which room received which signal/content?

Wow…talk about a home dedicated to learning! 🙂

‘My Generation’ iPad app syncs with TV — from CNN.com by John D. Sutter

A new app for Apple’s tablet computer will listen to the ABC television series “My Generation” with you, and serve up content to augment the experience.

Using the iPad’s built-in microphone, the free “My Generation Sync” app literally syncs up with the TV show so it can give you information about what’s happening at that very moment on the television.

Netflix app for iPhone and iPod Touch launched — from thenextweb.com by Jeff Cormier

Fans of Netflix with an iPhone and/or iPod Touch, the time has come. As promised at the unveiling of iPhone 4 in June, Netflix has lauched their app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Get the free app here.

Netflix has been available on the iPad since its launch, and is one of my favorite apps as an iPad owner. The iPhone and iPod Touch version is equally as grand, albeit on a smaller screen.

iTunes Texas education channel launched — from news.yahoo.com by Sarah Portlock

HOUSTON – Texas students can now download podcasts, videos and other multimedia lessons directly from iTunes through a new online program aimed at providing free, supplementary coursework that can be accessed anywhere, state officials announced Tuesday.

The Texas Education iTunes U channel allows teachers to upload material from their classes to help students understand new concepts or do more research in a specific subject area. Students and parents can access the material through home or school computers, and those with iPods can download the information to the handheld devices.

The state first met with Apple Inc. about three years ago. The governor’s office and the Texas Education Agency began working on the project in November, finding and culling existing teacher training videos and programs for students, said agency spokeswoman Debbie Ratcliffe.

An iPad book for the deaf

On 08/23/2010, in accessibility / UDL, digital learning, digital storytelling, digital textbooks, by Daniel Christian

With its color screen and ability to run multiple applications, Apple’s iPad holds great promise for creating multimedia work that can redefine the nature of a book.

One new attempt to do so is “Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy,” an iPad version of the well-received children’s book that brings to it what the publisher, iStoryTime, says is a first: an iPad book complete with sign language for deaf children.

The $3 app offers three versions of this charmingly illustrated work: one that children can read themselves, one that would be read to them and one signed by a woman who stands off to the side of the screen, with the reduced-size book running next to her.
