    David Wicks commented on Frank Lowney's article: I bought Reflection and I really like it. You are able to have both your iPhone and iPad open at the same time so you can create screencasts showing how an app works differently (or the same) on both devices. Very cool. Thanks again for sharing Frank!

    in the topic What's your favorite iPad app for education? in the forum All Things Considered
    My current favorite is Audioboo, a great app students can use record and share reflections.  They can comment on other students' reflections.  One strategy (called AudioMo)  asks students to record a boo everyday for a month, reflecting on what they are learning.  At the end of the month students can record a metaboo where they summarize their learning.  Boos are limited to five minutes in length. You can even find Audioboos in iTunes.
