Getting started with Google Cardboard - CNET It sounds made up: Your smartphone, a couple of plastic lenses, and some strategically cut cardboard come together to form a virtual reality headset. Yet that's the, er, reality of Google Cardboard, which made its debut at last year's Google I/O conference and received a 2.0 update at this year's. Along the way, developers have cranked out some very cool Cardboard-compatible apps, while Google went so far as to create a dedicated Apps for Google Cardboard store. If you've been itching to try this for yourself, you have two options: Build a headset or order a kit. However, although the page itself makes reference to "the new Cardboard," the accompanying build-it-yourself images (and pop-up guides) still show the original Cardboard.

Spicynodes : Home Visual Root: Collaborative and Creative Mind Mapping You can check out this mind map here Visual Root is a free web based tool to create collaborative mind-maps made from videos, images, and text. Visual Root mind maps are like threads in a forum, one person starts a mind map root, and other people add node responses. The size of each element of the map is determined by users up or downvoting individual nodes. It is a very interesting brainstorming tool. In my opinion one of the key features of Visual Root is the possibility to export and download each map as a FreeMind file, then you can edit the map offline with a mind mapping software, given that most of the mind mapping softwares are importing FreeMind maps.

Later, on the day before a school year begins, some new teachers "freak out" and wonder how they are going to teach the material, says Ms. IN THE RIGHT COLUMN: More on The Digital CampusBROWSE THE FULL ISSUE: News, Commentary, and DataBUY A COPY: Digital and Print Editions at the Chronicle Store To show her students how to build a library of resources they can later use to teach, she requires them to create and maintain a Web-based "Mind Map"—a treelike diagram built around a central idea—to record and organize what they have learned during that term. Ms. Some students don't like using Mind Maps, she acknowledges.

GENIUS - Memorização ‘Wordflex’ Makes Your Dictionary Interactive | PocketFullOfApps Nearly everyone has used language tools like the dictionary and thesaurus. Each helps users to expand their vocabulary and their understanding of language to enhance their options for clear, concise, and descriptive communications. And this is not only important for students, who must use language in every subject (even math), but also for adults in the workforce, who often have to communicate via written formats (emails, presentations, etc.) in which tone can be easily misconstrued, especially when the word choice is poor. In short, language presents most people with a lifelong challenge that includes ongoing education. And there’s one app out there that is uniquely designed to help both language lovers and those that are struggling with linguistics to increase their vocabulary in an interactive and intuitive environment.
