Applications Review

http://fotoflexer.com/

I personally enjoyed this site.  I spent a lot of time checking out everything that you could do with a photo and even created an account.  I liked that you could add stickers and animations and also distort the picture.  I edited a few of my own pictures and saved them.  I would recomment this for teachers to use and also for students.  Not something they would use on a daily basis, but maybe for special projects....upload a family pic or someone that they idolize.  Students could create pictures that they use to put on wiki if they are doing a project.  I think this program allows students to use their creativity and I think they would enjoy that.

"ThinkFree Mobile allows the viewing, editing , and sharing of documents, anywhere."  This I like a lot.  I cannot open documents up on my phone so this would help me out tremendously!  I am an itinerant so I travel from school to school all day long.  I don't have time to run to my office between schools, so this application would save me some time.  I haven't put this app on my phone yet, but so far reading about it I would recomment it.  It allows you to open documents for free, but you have to pay ($8.70) for the app that supports editing.  ThinkFree Mobile Print ($14.99) is also something that I would be interested in. It allows you to print pictures, documents and web pages from your phone.  There are some mixed reviews for the Mobile Print.  Some gave it 5 stars, some 1.....so may have to do a little more investigating before I decide to put it on my phone.  Definitely worth looking into if you're a teacher on the go.  Especially if you are one of those teachers who works even after the work day is over....that's probably all of us.
