iDevBooks – Educational Math Apps

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

iDevBooks is a great site that has some unique educational tools.  These tools are in the form of Apps for your iPhone.

Esa Helttula contacted me through Twitter about reviewing these useful educational tools.  In the spirit of Education and Technology it is very fitting for TheTeachingBox to give Esa a quick review and send you back to his web site to check out these Cool Apps.

The best way to introduce Esa and his site is to use his own description:

This site is about my Math Apps for iPhone. It all started when I was looking for a Column Addition app for my daughter. I was surprised to find out that there were no apps that teach the basics like column addition, column subtraction, long division and long multiplication. I had experience about designing visualizing algorithms for computer science students. I decided to use that knowledge to make great teaching and learning apps for children and everybody who wants to study math. You will find my apps by choosing the my apps -link.

The apps are quite unique.  There is a total collection of 10 apps covering such topics as:

  • Long Division
  • Long Multiplication
  • Column Addition
  • Column Subtraction

Esa is easily accessible through email or you can follow him on Twitter.  Stop by his page and give the iPhone Math Apps a try.  You will not be disappointed.

Create Cool Web 2.0 Buttons Using GIMP

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

In this third tutorial you will build on your GIMP knowledge and learn how to create a Web 2.0 Button.  Although this is a basic instructional tutorial I feel that it uses the basic tools that you need to know to do many operations within GIMP.  Creating a button isn’t the most exciting task, but try it, you may like it!

As you go through the tutorial, have your mouse ready to hit the pause button.  The instructor moves pretty fast through the steps, but I’m ok with it, because I don’t like lots of non activity during videos presentations.  (that’s what the pause button is for).

 

Create Web 2.0 Buttons using GIMP

The run time for this video is about 8.5 minutes and is in flash format.  It moves fast, but provides a lot of good basic information on running the GIMP interface.

Enjoy the Video!
