Facebook Ads Gone Wrong

Oops. This ad popped up on Facebook the other day. Do they not know that I am a boy? Until facebook figures out how to match ads with the info they have about me, the ads are not going to be useful.

A 90 dollar iPhone App?

I was looking at the new “Highest Grossing” section of the iPhone app store and found this beauty. Scary thing is some people have actually put down 90 bucks. For an app that gives you directions on a smartphone that has Google Maps pre installed?!

Maybe I just need more money.

How To Really Assess Learning

Istock_000003918483xlarge

 

There are a lot of standards and scores that kids in K-12 have to meet to make sure they are learning.  I didn’t make this list, and I can’t remember where I saw it.  But I love this list and how it  presents an alternate idea on how to assess learning.

What did you make today that was meaningful?
What did you learn about the world?
Who are you working with?
What surprised you?
What did your teachers make with you?
What did you teach others?
What unanswered questions are you struggling with?
How did you change the world in some small (or big) way?
What’s something your teachers learned today?
What did you share with the world?
What do you want to know more about?
What did you love about today?
What made you laugh?

I Am T-Pain initial reaction

This app is fun. Seriously. I actually sing and this app is still fun. Also the reason I haven’t posted a song yet because I don’t feel i made one good enough.

 Some of my initial thoughts are…
Everything is easy to do. Well thought out.

Typical of Smule they have options to use the “T-Pain” auto tune or customize it according to minor major and key.
 
I noticed in the tutorial that there are songs not in the final version that are in the screen shot. (Thug Story)
 
This app would be perfect of you could upload your own tracks to song over the top of.

So I just downloaded this app. And it is hilarious. So funny. And in true Smule fashion there is slick integration to facbook and you can email the tracks you record.

I’ll post some of my “songs” later.
 
Now you can Auto tune everything.
