ZoomNotes Meograph – 4 Dimensional Story Telling Web 2.0 Style What I love about Web 2.0 apps is the simplicity. Bloated desktop apps like Office and Photoshop, with their hundreds of menu items and toolbars, are powerful tools but become difficult for non techies to handle. Web 2.o tools, on the other hand, are focused on specific purposes, allowing them to be streamlined and simple enough for anyone to use. Meograph, a relatively new tool ( released in July, 2012 and still in Beta form) is one such simple to use but still powerful web app. It sells itself as a “4 Dimensional Story telling” app. In a nutshell, it allows you to tell stories through (1)images/videos, (2)narration, (3)maps and a (4)timeline (hence the 4 dimensions) OR WHO/WHAT, WHEN and WHERE. ADD A MOMENT. While I have found Meograph to be a very useful and simple to use storytelling tool, there is room for improvement. The Timeline. Everything else is Beta based Bugs. Having said all that, I have found MeoGraph to be a great addition to my teaching toolbox.

Basecamp is everyone’s favorite project management app. Goodreader for iPad 3.12.0 (ANALISIS A FONDO) Parte I | iPadyApps Empresa: Good.iWare, Ltd. Desarrollador: Yuri Selukoff Categoría: Productividad Precio: 3,99 €uros (Mis Documentos) Cuando inicias esta aplicación, lo primero que ves es el menú desde donde gestionas los archivos que has almacenado en la aplicación. A la izquierda están los archivos y las carpetas donde están albergados estos, así como un enlace a iCloud[1], para guardar allí aquellos archivos que queremos tener sincronizados con otros dispositivos. También existe por defecto una carpeta llamada “Downloads”[2] (descargas), en la que se irán almacenando todos los archivos que descargamos directamente a través de la aplicación, y aunque tiene la ventaja de que así no se mezclaran los nuevos archivos con los que ya tenemos, también hay que tener en cuenta que iCloud los ignorará, no pudiendo realizar copia de los mismos hasta que los hallamos re-ubicado.
