5 Fun Ways to Help Your Kids Learn Math Online [Mashable]

Posted on 30 June 2010 by admin

From Source: Mashable

Rebecca Zook is an online female math tutor who has been helping students get math into their brains for seven years. She blogs about learning at Triangle Suitcase.

We’ve sorted the contenders from the pretenders and found five genuinely fun ways to help your kids learn math this summer. These unique technologies go way beyond the world of flashcards, and use surprising tools including rap music, adaptive technology, psychological research and wailing guitar solos.

They’re fun. They’re easy to use. And they aren’t lame.

Listropolis' Take:

Not your typical Mashable post, but it's surprisingly interesting. If you don't have children, you can probably skip this one, but if you do...this list contains some great sites to help with math.

Posted on 29 June 2010 by admin

From Source: SaveDelete.com

The new Apple iPhone 4 is out and iOS 4 Gold master edition has been seeded to all developers who are eagerly waiting to make feature rich iOS 4 compatible apps.

With iPhone 4 sales already surpassing 1.5 Million mark and Apple opening up a store for iOS 4 compatible apps it is very clear that the future is open for iPhone Game and application developers to explore. However game developers need to keep in mind few important iPhone 4 features while developing iOS 4 compatible games.

Few are the important iPhone 4 features which iPhone game developers should not miss out on.

Listropolis' Take:

The crew here at Listropolis has made the switch to Android, but we're still huge Apple fanboys, so we don't mind a few iPhone lists from time to time. There's nothing new in this post, but it's a simple, in-your-face, list for game devs.

30 best free Android apps

Posted on 02 June 2010 by admin

From Source: TechRadar

OK, so the Android Market is more akin to Lidl or Asda than the iPhone's enormous, indulgent Selfridges-at-Christmas time approach, but the open source nature of Google's OS means there's plenty of innovation to be found on its budget shelves.
And best of all, most of the good stuff on Android is free, thanks to the work of developers who do it for love alone. These 20 free Android apps should be any Android owner's Day One installs...

Listropolis' Take:

I love my Nexus One. If, like me, you're making the switch to Android from an iPhone, this list will come in VERY handy.
