ReplyDeleteI like the picture of the mayfly.
ReplyDeleteMy hope the video editing to be done later will be understandable enough so we can adapt the process to multiple picture editors that have similar capabilities, such as Photoshop elements on a Mac.
ReplyDeleteIs there a blog spell check?
Several of the apps recommended I couldn't find, NASA for example
ReplyDeleteSome of the apps are for the iPod instead of the iPad but they still work.
ReplyDeleteiPod/iPhone/iTouch apps work on the iPad. If you click on the 2x button, they will fill the screen. But iPad apps only work on the iPad.
ReplyDeleteI must admit to social network burnout. Usually an early adopter, I'm finding myself frustrated at all these new tools. Not because I can't use them, but because I'm afraid I'm not using them as much as I could! Oh well, who needed sleep anyways!
ReplyDeleteNumbers creates spreadsheets, Keynote, presentations, and Pages is for documents. Negotiator has headlines from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad John. The key is to have fun and enjoy the learning. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
ReplyDeleteJust got the PBS for iPad App--Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI added and copied the priority expectations into the iBook app.
ReplyDeleteI like your collection of ipad/ iphone apps. I have many of these as well.
ReplyDeleteI also regularly use a variety of weather, tides and wildlife apps as well as a Theodolite (angles distance measure that uses the iphone camera), surf and snow reports, Google Earth, ArcGIS, etc.
My iphone is always with me in the field, as is my ipad, for meetings especially. I would love to have a field data collectin app that taps into the camera, GPS, GIS or Google Earth, etc.
